- labelStory and Setting
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is set in Limveld, a new, ever-shifting land within the ELDEN RING universe, besieged by a creeping night. Players assume the role of Nightfarers, chosen heroes on a quest to dispel the reign of night and overcome the Nightlords. The game features a session-based narrative that unfolds through a three day-and-night cycle, with each expedition offering opportunities to unravel the story behind each mysterious Nightfarer. It is described as a prequel and spin-off to the main Elden Ring game, taking place in an alternate past.
- labelMap Size and Regions (Limveld)
Limveld is not a static open world like The Lands Between in Elden Ring. Instead, it's a session-based environment that is 'ever-shifting and evolving each session.' The map can fluctuate with different biomes, enemy placements, points of interest, and available weapons, ensuring that no two expeditions are the same. This roguelike approach means players must adapt their routes and strategies for each run. The encroaching 'Night's Tide' (a circle of fire) forces players into different scenarios.
- labelSkills and Upgrades Overview (Nightfarers & Relics)
Players choose from eight unique Nightfarers (e.g., Duchess, Ironeye, Raider, Recluse, Wylder, Guardian, Revenant, Executor), each possessing distinct weapons, abilities, and playstyles. While individual skill trees for each Nightfarer aren't explicitly detailed like traditional RPGs, their inherent skills create synergies in co-op. Players find Sites of Grace to level up during a run, gaining crucial power. Unsuccessful runs grant 'Relics,' which allow for permanent character customization and upgrades tailored to personal playstyles, enhancing future expeditions. Inventory and stat management are kept relatively simple compared to the main Elden Ring game.

- labelTop 3 Gameplay Mechanics
- 1. Session-Based Co-op Roguelike Loop: Each expedition through Limveld is a unique run, with a shifting map, randomized rewards, and a three day-and-night cycle culminating in a Nightlord boss. Death can mean restarting the run, but Relics provide permanent progression. 2. Unique Nightfarer Abilities & Team Synergy: Choosing from distinct heroes with unique skills and weapons, encouraging players to cooperate and combine abilities for powerful effects against challenging enemies and bosses. 3. High-Stakes Boss Battles: Encounters with terrifying new Nightlord bosses and reimagined familiar foes from the Elden Ring and broader FromSoftware library, requiring skill, strategy, and teamwork to overcome.
