Elden Ring Nightreign Inching Closer To Launch

Ongoing Game Balancing and Final Adjustments

With Elden Ring Nightreign just days away from release, FromSoftware remains deeply committed to refining every aspect of the game. In a recent interview with GamesRadar+ on May 27, Director Junya Ishizaki shared that the team is still actively tweaking and balancing gameplay elements to ensure a polished launch. While excitement and nerves build as the release date nears, Ishizaki expressed confidence in the team’s relentless pursuit of quality.

He emphasized their philosophy: "We really try to tweak things until the last minute. We're busy fine-tuning, getting the most out of any single session. We want players to feel happy and comfortable in each session, so we're really trying to get that player comfort and that play feel just really fine-tuned until the very end."

Known for their mastery of single-player experiences in the Soulsborne series, FromSoftware is now stepping into deeper multiplayer territory with Nightreign. Though the studio has incorporated multiplayer elements in past titles like Dark Souls and Armored Core, Nightreign represents their most co-op-focused project to date. As such, precise balancing is essential to deliver a smooth, engaging, and rewarding cooperative experience.

Official Launch Trailer Unveils Revenant

The official launch trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign dropped on May 27, offering a cinematic showcase of the game’s diverse character classes and intense boss encounters. Among the highlights was the reveal of Revenant—the eighth and final Nightfarer. The trailer featured her wielding a harp-like weapon and showcased her eerie, puppet-like hands, reinforcing her mysterious and haunting presence.

Revenant was first teased in the game’s 10-minute overview trailer but has not yet received a dedicated gameplay breakdown. Unlike the other Nightfarers, her abilities and combat mechanics remain under wraps, leaving fans eager for more details. Her absence of a full reveal suggests FromSoftware may be saving key insights for post-launch or future content drops.

The Night Hunt Livestream Event

Bandai Namco US announced via Twitter (X) on May 28 a special livestream event titled The Night Hunt. This competitive showcase will feature eight teams of three players battling across three intense rounds, offering fans a real-time look at gameplay dynamics and team strategies.

The livestream will be broadcast on Bandai Namco US’s official Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok channels on May 28 at 3:00 PM PT / 6:00 PM ET. While participant details have not been disclosed, the event promises to deliver a comprehensive view of full-match gameplay, giving players a clearer idea of Nightreign’s pacing, mechanics, and co-op synergy.

Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For the latest updates and in-depth coverage, stay tuned to our ongoing coverage [ttpp].
