FromSoftware surprised everyone at The Game Awards 2024 last night with the reveal of co-op spin-off Elden Ring Nightreign, but if that’s not shocking enough, it also features bosses from Dark Souls.
Fans were quick to notice the debut trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign appeared to feature one of Dark Souls’ most infamous bosses, the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3, and game director Junya Ishizaki confirmed to Famitsu, in an interview translated by Automaton that baddies from Dark Souls will in fact appear.
Their appearances will be limited, Ishizaki said, as they represent creatures that have strayed into this twisted version of Limgrave from other universes. While he only mentioned Dark Souls, this theoretically opens the door for other FromSoftware games such as Demon’s Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and, dare we say it, Bloodborne to cameo.
Elden Ring Nightreign drops up to three players into a condensed version of Limgrave from the main Elden Ring and tasks them with surviving. Enemies and structures are procedurally generated to allow for a varied experience, with players encouraged to battle to grow stronger and survive the night, when a boss appears.
Surviving three days and nights spawns a major boss for players to take down, and the game has eight in total for players to conquer. IGN has already played the game and you can read our impressions here. And be sure to read our big interview with Elden Ring Nightreign’s game director to get even more info on how it all works.
