Exploring Elden Ring: Nightreign

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces several key features. Most notably, it will support co-op gameplay, enabling teams of up to three players to explore the world and conquer enemies together.

The trailer showcased new weapons, movement mechanics, and a particularly intriguing boss. The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan noted a striking resemblance to the Nameless King from Dark Souls III. Given the co-op element, this boss and others promise an even more intense challenge in Nightreign.

That's how to register for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you're aiming to complete the main game before diving into Nightreign, here's a guide to obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
