You've probably seen the whispers online, the rumors of a new Elden Ring DLC called "Nightreign." Is it real? Is it coming to expand the Lands Between? Let's clear things up straight away. No, Elden Ring: Nightreign is not a DLC for the original Elden Ring game. It's something entirely new and, in my opinion, just as exciting.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a brand-new, standalone spin-off game. Think of it as a cousin to Elden Ring, not a child. It’s set in the same universe, the Lands Between, but it’s a whole different beast. From what we've seen, it’s a co-op survival game where you and your friends can team up to take on the horrors of the night. My friends and I were so hyped for a new Elden Ring experience, and the idea of a co-op survival game in this world is something we've been dreaming of. We've already started planning our team composition!

What Makes Nightreign Different?

So, if it’s not a DLC, what is it? Here’s a quick rundown of what we know about Elden Ring: Nightreign so far:

• Standalone Game: You don't need to own the original Elden Ring to play Nightreign. It’s a completely separate purchase and experience.
• Co-op Survival: The focus is on playing with others. You'll team up with friends to survive against hordes of enemies and powerful bosses.
• New Playable Characters: Instead of playing as a Tarnished, you'll get to choose from a roster of new heroes, each with their own unique abilities.
• Its Own DLC: To make things even clearer, Nightreign will have its own DLCs. The first one announced is called "The Forsaken Hollows."

I remember when the first rumors of Nightreign started circling. I was scrolling through a gaming forum late at night and saw a post with a blurry, leaked image. The excitement was palpable. Everyone was speculating, and the thought of more Elden Ring content had us all in a frenzy. To find out it's a whole new game was a pleasant surprise. While it's not a direct continuation of our Tarnished's story, it’s a chance to experience the world of Elden Ring in a fresh, new way.

If you’re a fan of the world of Elden Ring but have been looking for a new challenge or a way to play with friends, then Nightreign is definitely something to keep an eye on. While it's not the DLC you might have been expecting, it promises to be an exciting new adventure in a familiar and beloved world.
