FromSoftware has confirmed this Elden Ring: Night Reign will contain enemies of Dark souls.
The Game Awards 2024 10th Anniversary Ceremony was an exciting evening of world premiere trailers and announcements, including the surprise reveal of a brand new game. Elden Ring called a spin-off game Night Reigna standalone co-op roguelite experience due out in 2025.
The announcement came alongside an action-packed trailer, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice a few familiar faces from previous FromSoftware releases, most notably Dark souls 3‘s most formidable boss, the Nameless King.
Although the studio is keeping quiet about the bosses players might encounter Night ReignGame director Junya Ishizaki has now shared a teaser of what to expect.
