Bandai Namco has announced that Elden Ring Nightreign will launch on May 30 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
In a statement to GameSpot, Bandai Namco also confirmed that Elden Ring Nightreign will not feature any microtransactions. However, it will have DLC in the form of a one-time purchase that adds more characters, bosses, and biome elements. The DLC is included in Elden Ring Nightreign’s Deluxe and Collector’s Editions.
Ahead of the games release, closed beta network tests will begin this weekend from February 14 to February 16. There are five sessions in total and network test codes have already been emailed out for players who signed up for the beta last month. Some people were trying to scalp their network test codes last month for cash, although it didn’t seem like many people took up those offers.
Elden Ring Nightreign is a different take on the typical souls-like formula. It’s a co-op survival game featuring roguelike and battle royale mechanics that has up to three players teaming up survive three days and three nights. It’ll feature bosses from previous From Software games, including the Dark Souls series. Unfortunately, it won’t have cross-play across different platform families, but it’ll have cross-generational play between the same console family.
