Editions, Release Date, And Bonus

2024’s Game Awards will go down as one of the best in the show’s history. A lot of very welcome surprises, chief among them the shocking reveal that just a year after Elden Ring‘s massive Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion, which was basically a whole new game all by itself, we’re getting even more from The Lands Between. An entirely new multiplayer experience, Elden Ring Nightreign, coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on May 30, 2025.

Elden Ring Nightreign Is Far More Than Just An Asset Flip

The soulslike formula fits surprisingly well into a Roguelite.

With a release date revealed and previews out there – you may have even been lucky enough to have been a part of Nightreign’s network test by the time you read this – pre-orders for the next installment in the Elden Ring series are now live. There are four editions to choose from and the game will be released on both current and last-gen platforms. With all of that in mind, you can find everything you need to inform and place your Nightreign pre-order below.

Differences Between All Of Elden Ring Nightreign’s Editions

There are four editions of Nightreign to choose from, but until April, you can only place pre-orders for two of them. More on that in a second. Regardless of the platform you plan on playing, if all you want is the standard edition or the slightly more expensive deluxe edition, you can secure your copy of Nightreign right now and not have to think about it again until it unlocks on May 30, although I’m sure you’ll be thinking about it a lot.

There’s been some confusion over the Seeker and Collector’s Editions of Nightreign, the ones that come with physical items. The Seeker Edition is the deluxe edition with a SteelBook thrown in, while the Collector’s Edtion comes with other physical goodies including a Wylder statue. Bandai Namco’s site says pre-orders for these editions won’t be available until April, while some have reported they’re already live. It may depend on where you are in the world, and you can check via the links in the box below.

Everything Else We Know About Nightreign

So, what is Nightreign exactly? If you have come here because you want more Elden Ring no matter what it is, but it would be nice to know a little more before you commit, you’ve come to the right place. Although Nightreign takes place in Limgrave, the same place as the original game, the spinoff’s procedurally generated nature means even those of you who know The Lands Between like the back of your hand are going to have trouble getting around every single time you visit.

Yes, you will be able to play Nightreign alone, but even the most hardened Tarnished will struggle to survive. Nightreign has been designed to be played by three people at a time. Team up and try to survive Limgrave for three nights with a final boss waiting for you if you do. It’s not clear why the game won’t let two of you embark on a Nightreign journey together, but I’m sure FromSoftware has its reasons.

Elden Ring Nightreign will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on May 30, 2025.
