Elden Ring: Nightreign will support singleplayer, but it might not reward it
- FromSoftware has recently announced a new Elden Ring game, Elden Ring: Nightreign, which is a co-op focused experience.
- The map of the game is surrounded by archaic weather, the navigable area to a boss arena shrinks with night approaching.
- Players can play Nightreign both alone and offline, during solo play the game scales down enemy health pools.
- There are no Spirit Ash items to let you summon helpful NPCs in the game, and certain key handholds for solo players are also missing.
- According to Ishizaki, Nightreign is very much co-op-first, and is balanced primarily around three-player teams.
- It's not a live service game and you can get the complete package when you buy Nightreign.
- The Nightreign concept does seem to fit in well with Hidetaka Miyazaki's comments earlier this year about working on smaller projects in the future.
- It's the first time FromSoftware has made anything Soulsy where multiplayer is a menu option, rather than something slowly peeled back and investigated while travelling alone.
- The game also has some confusing allusions to the wider Fromverse in the presence of Dark Souls 3's Nameless King.
- Nightreign might not encourage singleplayer, but it supports it and allows players to harvest treasure dropped by other slain players via asynchronous online.
