With the network test for Elden Ring Nightreign in early 2025, excitement for FromSoftware's newest game is rising. It's not as high as it would be for a typical new Soulslike, but the combination of Elden Ring Nightreign being a major experiment for the Japanese developer and a counterpart to the massively successful Elden Ring commands respect regardless. Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion were the best-selling titles FromSoftware has ever made, so for as many fans as Nightreign risks alienating, it could also surprise and delight even more.
