What Is Elden Ring Nightreign?
Deciphering the complex storyline of a FromSoftware game can be as difficult as battling its formidable foes. Enthusiastic players have already figured out the storyline of Elden Ring, and Nightreign unfolds within the same universe, although it does not feature the writing of George R.R. Martin. This installment emphasizes multiplayer gameplay, offering teams a limited time frame to defeat a boss before resetting the world. Players may uncover intriguing new lore about The Lands Between.
