FromSoftware is making bold moves with a genre switch-up for Elden Ring: Nightreign, with the game leaning into the co-op elements of its predecessor and adding a roguelike twist. However, it's likely that FromSoftware will return to crafting more traditional soulslikes in the future, but they may still differ greatly from Elden Ring. As such, the developer may want to look towards a competitor within the same genre for a feature that could help a future game feel as robust as Elden Ring, while still retaining a smaller scope.
