I mean, what even is time? Elden Ring Nightreign is dropping, and wow, the release schedule is like an unsolvable puzzle. If you’re on consoles, or a PC person, it’s a situational mess. Dive in when you can, but heads up—you won’t be playing with your cross-platform friends… because, surprise, no crossplay. Yeah, it’s 2023, right?
Okay, right, so, PS5 and Xbox players, mark the moment. Midnight, May 30. Unless you’re in the Americas, then it’s… well, expect the unexpected, I guess.
PC folks, gather ’round. Everyone gets the same time here, all synced up at 12 a.m. CEST, on the dot. May 30, mark it or don’t—who keeps track of dates these days?
Let’s talk mystical journeys though. Elden Ring Nightreign—it’s a roguelike, multiplayer (kinda) twist on Elden Ring. Catch this: No duos. Just you, or a trio. What a party, right? Characters and mechanics borrowed from the OG game, like remix culture for video games.
Oh, and, what’s in a name—Dark Souls bosses might crash the party. FromSoft’s greatest hits or something. You get eight character classes, because why not? Choose your hero. Play through three nightmarish nights, each ending with a big baddie showdown.
Cost? Forty bucks. A full-sized game? Nah, but for the hardcore Elden Ring fans—this one’s your shiny ticket.
If you’re curious (or, like me, just love endless reading), check out Polygon’s preview for the real lowdown. Or don’t—I mean, maybe just play the game instead.
