What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.

The trailer reveals new weapons, movement mechanics, and a formidable boss that bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls III's Nameless King, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan. Given the co-op nature of Nightreign, this boss promises an even more challenging encounter.

This concludes the guide on registering for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. For those focused on completing the main game first, here's a guide to obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
