Elden Ring Nightreignis a From Software game unlike any other. The co-op focused title switches up the traditional formula in numerous ways. The most obvious is the structure of the game moving away from the exploration of a connected world and towards more of an extraction or battle royale title. Players now drop into Limveld, loot, battle enemies, face down bosses and try to survive long enough to take on the Nightlord.
It’s a dramatic shift fromDark Souls,BloodborneandElden Ring. It’s not the only shift from the traditional formula From Software fans will notice, though. Traditionally at the start of a From Software game, players can customize their character and select their classes. That’s no longer the case inElden Ring Nightreign.
