How many times do we need to see the words Elden Ring Nightreign typed before it teaches people the difference between reign, rein, and rain? I don’t know, but the marketing folks are aiming to find out as they’ve been flooding our inboxes with Nightreign news for the last month. But that’ll finally slow down now as this co-op spin-off of Elden Ring officially launched last night, and apparently over 2M of you have already bought it. In fact, that number has surely gone up between the time I type it and the time you read it.

“Elden Ring Nightreign, the standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game by FromSoftware, Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., is now available to players, having already surpassed the milestone of 2 million units,” Bamco announced this morning. “In the game, players must navigate the twists and turns and various challenges in the harsh and unforgiving world of Limveld – a new land to explore in the Elden Ring universe. The game thrusts players into co-op multiplayer PVE combat against a harsh and unforgiving world. Teaming up in squads of three – or daring to go solo – they must outlast a three day-and-night cycle, making split decisions about combat and exploration across a changing map to become strong enough to take down terrifying bosses, including the occasional familiar foe from prior FromSofware games, at the end of each day.”

The game is out on just about anything you can game on except mobile. As of this morning, it’s already cruising toward surpassing its peak of 313K concurrent people on Steam from last night. Reviews so far, if you’re wondering, are in the “mixed” range.
