Elden Ring Nightreign Overview Trailer
10-Minute Overview Trailer
With *Elden Ring Nightreign*'s release date on the horizon, fans of the multiplayer Souls RPG are eagerly anticipating their chance to dive in. The overview trailer, unveiled on May 2, delves into the game's lore, mechanics, and features, giving players a comprehensive look at what to expect.
As highlighted in the trailer, "ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a co-op survival action game where you navigate a vast and dangerous field with other players. You must become one of the Nightfarers, fighting through the endless night and taking on scores of vicious foes over the span of three days."
The trailer provides a clear picture of the gameplay loop, where players are dropped into the land of Limveld to hunt down the Nightlords that dominate the region. The objective is to defeat these formidable foes, while navigating through battles, scavenging for treasures, and more.
The day-night cycle in *Elden Ring Nightreign* is crucial. During the day, players gather resources, and at night, they confront the bosses. As each day passes, the map shrinks, introducing new enemies. On the third day, players must conquer a powerful Nightlord to successfully conclude their expedition.
The trailer also emphasizes the dynamic nature of Limveld, stating, "the layout of Limveld will change each time you visit." This means that bases, enemy types, chest rewards, and other elements will vary and be randomized with each playthrough. Players should be prepared for unexpected events such as enemy ambushes, meteor strikes, or volcanic eruptions that can interrupt their explorations.
Last 2 Classes Teased
The overview trailer tantalized fans with a glimpse of the last two classes for *Elden Ring Nightreign*, though full details remain under wraps. A character named Executor, a knight wielding a power-imbued sword, was showcased. A brief clip showed him parrying and counterattacking an enemy with finesse.
Additionally, a female Nightfarer with greyish hair and wielding a harp was teased at the end of the segment. Fans can look forward to dedicated character trailers for these Nightfarers in the coming weeks as the game approaches its launch.
The Roundtable Hold
In *Elden Ring Nightreign*, players have a base called the Roundtable Hold where they can prepare for their adventures in Limveld. This hidden area allows players to equip relics, buy items, and customize their characters.
Relics are special items obtained during expeditions that enhance players' abilities. Different combinations of relics offer diverse gameplay experiences, encouraging players to experiment and find what best suits their style. These relics can also be purchased from a Jar Merchant within the base using "Murk," a currency earned through battles.
The "fitting mirror" at the Roundtable Hold allows players to change their characters' outfits. These costumes are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay. The trailer showcased various outfits, including exciting previews of familiar Souls costumes such as Solaire of Astora, Faraam, the God of War, and Ringfinger Leonhard from *Dark Souls 3*.
Players can also collect "fragments of lost memories" during their expeditions. These fragments not only expand the lore of each Nightfarer but also introduce new objectives for players to pursue. Completing these objectives will unveil the origins and purposes of the Nightfarers.
PC Requirements
The PC requirements for *Elden Ring Nightreign* are surprisingly lenient compared to its challenging gameplay. FromSoftware revealed these specs in a Twitter (X) post on April 28. The minimum and recommended settings are within reach for most gaming setups.
The minimum requirements include an Intel Core i5 10600 or Ryzen 5 5500 processor and 12 GB of memory, while the recommended specs bump up to an Intel Core i5 11500 or Ryzen 5 5600 with 16 GB of memory. For graphics cards, the minimum is a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580, and the recommended is a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX Vega 56. Fans have praised FromSoftware for the game's optimization, especially noting its modest 30 GB storage requirement.
