@@hardboiledbug It looks fun, but I wish they didn't put the name "Elden Ring" on it. and just make a completely new game and call it nightreign and make it roguelite soulsgame or whatever they plan for this.
I just wish they didn't call it Elden Ring. I think that set a lot of people up for disappointment, myself included. I think it's great that they're making this type of game, but the title really is misleading.
It's their own fault. They used the Elden Ring name for marketing, this could have easily been called Souls: Night Reign for example and it would have saved them from the criticism. Using ER in the title will ALWAYS bring comparison since you put it in the title.
Honestly might like this more than Sote, was pretty dissapointed with it and its areas being pretty lackluster compared to base game. This definetely feels like it will be more fun since its a boss rush mode, with different mechanics and from what I saw, it alreadly looks to have better combat to boss synergy than elden ring ever had.

I'm not a fan of Roguelites so it might be a skip for me if the price is too high but I'm still glad that Fromsoft is trying other things out. I've been playing their games ever since Chromehounds came out and I enjoyed literally all their games since then so missing out on one isn't a big deal especially when many other interesting games were announced for 2025. Most of my friends also don't like Fromsoft games so I'm at the mercy of strangers if I do get Nightreign.
I’m actually happy they’re just going balls to the wall and making some crazy shit. They no doubt have some more serious project on the scale of Elden Ring in the oven, but in the meantime we can enjoy something less serious and fight a shuffle of From’s greatest hits. Hopefully the new bosses are of the same quality as we’ve come to expect
Yeah, it's always good to see a company trying its hand at new types of games and seeing what works. Maybe this will set a precedent for their IPs where they might release fun spin-offs to tide people over till the next game comes out
@ I think they’re talking about the games immediately coming up. Nightreign is clearly meant to be a side project. I think they’ll drip feed us smaller games like this, new Armored Core, perhaps a spiritual or true sequel to Sekiro, and others while they work on their next huge project. And they have all the reasons to be working on a project of that scale. Miyazaki is passionate about making huge, complex universes to build stories in, and they’d make a metric fuckton of money
@@GoldenOrderBS the funniest part about this is that they’re only gonna charge $40 for this. Most other companies would charge an extra $20 and monetize the ever loving shit out of it
@michaeljohnston8891 Mizayaki literally said Elden Ring was the limit and that their next multiple games will be smaller scale. They're better off making something NEW, just because something is big doesn't make it good. The endgame of Elden Ring is not good, SOTE was rehashed BS with some of the worst bosses they've ever designed.
I think they're going to use this to test different mechanics. From the trailer, looks like the player character can Sekiro-parry, fly, fly on an eagle, and climb ledges AC-style.
And new races as well. One the characters you play is a bird man creature who can fly and do that ground pound. I am kinda excited because this shows From experimenting with possible mechanics for future games.

Same unfortunately, the storyline progression was out of order, the invisible red line that locke you out of quests, the no cutscenes for bosses like Romina or rellana, crap loot that I've already got the bell bearing for from the main game and it felt more linear as opposed to the main game @@tonysiouxfan
@zzuklaa5699 "rougelike" and all its adjacent terms have become so meaningless lmao. literally nothing about this game, or most of the games that get called rougelites for that matter, play even remotely similar to rouge. when people say "traditional rougelite" i think of games like path of achra or caves of qud, games that actually play like rouge.
Honestly between this and Miyazaki's comments on the Seamless Coop mod for ER, I really think this is them testing a true seamless coop experience in house, which hopefully will make it into their next "real" title
@@devilalastor3320 Nah nah, most of the streamer are doing pvp now, most of the good player's know that the real challenge is being able to take down a team of player's...and not brainless mob's...everyone else are just a mid player's who can't take the real challenge.
@@devilalastor3320 Baside the souls game more active now are the 1 with pvp...fighting people just hit different is too much fun...fighting mob and boss doesn't give me any satisfaction because the boss and mob's are not smart.
"Little pillager, bent on sacking the land of gold! I will swat away any and all who dare approach." I find this specific line very interesting, because it doesn't sound like Morgott is talking to you. This is an elden ring title so I assume you are fighting for the lands between, and that makes me think two things: Either we will get to chose which side we're on, with some characters from the land between and some characters from dark souls, or we might actually be on the same side as Morgott. I really hope the latter is true, it would be a really interesting change of pace, and it would be so cool at actually fight with characters like Morgott or Radahn instead of just killing them
Its important to stress that this is likely going to not be your typical coop roguelike/battle royale slop with microtransactions and such. It will likely be an ACTUAL quality roguelike with making the gameplay loop as fun as possible out of the box being the focus. Like the kind of quality and talent you'd see from those amazing indie roguelikes. Remember that
@@phantasmalphoenix2990 Enter the Gungeon is a fully original game where every asset/enemy was made specifically for it. This seems to be mostly reused content.
As much as I love every Fromsoft game, it kinda felt like the forumla was getting a little stale, so getting this full shakeup is exactly what I wanted and I am so excited
@@WhySoSeriousSenpaiThis isn’t fortnite? It’s not a battle royale, it’s not not massive multiplayer, it’s not competitive, it has a roguelike progression system and proc-gen, it’s got basically 0 similarities to fortnite.
Mixing in Sekiro parry and wallrunning into the Souls-like gameplay makes this game a great experiment for their next big game. Deflecting hardtear proved to be insanely popular. This game will fill a void until their next big project. I was initially bummed because of the preset character thing, but I had to be honest with myself. If I found that Carian Valkyrie armor in the game I'd be wearing that anyway lol.
Well, I was too addicted to Hades, and the budget for that game was nothing in comparison to From Software, so I see something great possibly coming out of this
One thing that has me really excited, is that the images that feature the "Mage" *ISN'T* holding a weapon outside of their Catalyst. While Elden Ring disappointed me in this regard due to Caster gameplay being nearly 1:1 to DS3 and I don't want to get my hopes too high, but they might actually have the Mage play as an actual Caster rather than a Spellblade. (Which Elden Ring pushed hard for.) If that's the case, I hope it's how Casters will be defined as the default in the future and Seals/Stave will finally have an actual gameplay improvement that's been long overdue.
I'm excited for the new mechanics, especially the Sekiro deflect. I don't mind if it's not a full on RPG open world experience like base game but I am concerned about the multiplayer focus. I'm honestly not interested in the coop and I hope the enemies can adapt between solo and coop, instead of just being miserable for a solo experience.
@@brandonperez8133 They already do that in ER now. I'm not really talking about stats but more about movesets and mechanics. Let's take the triple wolves for example, are they going to behave the same for a solo as it does for 3 players? If it does then it's going to be too hard for a solo player or too easy for 3 players.
Here I was, trying to refresh my playthroughs with mods, add a bit more replayability to the game. And they give us this. Rogue-like game w/ Elden Ring mechanics. Now I don't need any other game.
A couple things we know and am hoping for 1. There are 8 new bosses, these are the bosses that spawn at end of third day (don't take my word on it) 2. You can play solo, but not duo? 3. DO NOT TRUST MIYAZAKI WHEN HE SAYS NO MORE GAMES im hyped asf
I'll be honest, there's a slight cringe aspect of it to me. Sorta the same impression of Fortnite being a hodgepodge slop of every piece of pop-culture. From Software reusing a bunch of assets and characters in some stupid multiverse style of world for the sake of making a video game, kind of thing. It's just not something I'm into. Feels like forgoing best aspects in the story and world chasing trends. Just the impression I get, but it's just not something I'm into. Hope it's fun though. Even if I think it's cringe, it'll be rad if it's super fun.
Yeah this is just a lazy asset flip cash grab, the fact that people are actually excited for this is insane to me. Now ofcourse this kind of thing will bring in even more of the general audiences than elden ring already did, so financially its a smart move. But yeah this is the nail in the coffin for fromsoft in my eyes, and just reassures me that we'll never see another traditional souls game again.
@@joshualouw9506 Why do you think like this? This game is very clearly a spin-off game made by its own team within FromSoftware, made possible by Elden Ring’s massive financial success. Traditional Souls games aren’t going anywhere. Sekiro was very different than FromSoftware’s previous titles, and Elden Ring is certainly unique in many aspects. Were those titles bad because they experimented and sought to evolve the Souls formula? I don’t think so. If this game doesn’t interest you because you don’t like multiplayer co-op rogue-like games (like Risk of Rain, for example) then that’s fine. Not everyone has to enjoy that sort of game. It is, however, completely unreasonable to claim that this is “the final nail in the coffin.” Why preach doom when the next “mainline” Fromsoft game is likely already in development? It’s not like Nightreign’s development impeded on that in any substantial way.
@@cornucopiaassortedfruits1618 Nail in the coffin "in my eyes". Im not trying to speak for everyone, its just sad for me to see what I once considered to be my favourite developer in the industry, who were known for bucking convention, and not falling into industry trends, become more and more conventional with every iteration on this framework. Im not trying to say that fromsoft wont continue to make mainline souls games, I know they will, I'm just saying that I no longer have any interest in them. And im not trying to make some sort of objective statement that the newer games are bad or anything, they're good. They're well made games, and clearly have a lot of time, effort and love put into them, but they're just not for me. And I hope that you can understand, that as a long time fan who has been supporting From since before the release of demons souls, It does upset me that I am no longer a part of the target audience for what used to be my favourite franchise in this industry.
@joshualouw9506 Yeah, I can see that. I’m from a later generation, and I only got into Souls from Elden Ring backwards, and I’ve really enjoyed every game I’ve played from the studio. From your perspective as a long-time fan, which I now understand, I can see how you’d be disappointed with the direction of the games heading away from the original formula. After the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, I heard many calls for FromSoft to keep evolving. I can see how those voices could be frustrating for you. For your sake, and for those who echo sentiments similar to your own, I hope that a future mainline FromSoftware title will be more in line with the original formula that you and many others hold so dearly, despite the fact that I personally don’t mind seeing evolution across the games. Also, it’s possible other developers will take up the mantle! Thank you for writing a well-constructed and respectful response.
When I first saw this I said “ they better have a good explanation for why the Nameless King is here” this is that good explanation. Now I’m hyped for this game like no tomorrow.
Hugely disappointed with the idea of preset heros, I thought the hero genre crashing and burning over the past few years was proof enough that players don't want to play a roster, they want to play their own character of their own making and personalized choices..
It's a rogue like game, I was kinda turned off by it too but at the same time it's FS. They just know how to turn bad genres into great genres. So imo this will be interesting to see how it pans out, gonna play it myself when I get a new PS5
@@Roundtable-1Not a good comparison. Deep rock you can build your own dwarf in each four class with totaly different playstyle given how you want to costumice it. And deepcore looks alot better as a roguelike then elden ring nightreign.
My biggest fear is that this franchise turns into the Persona franchise and we get all these spinoffs and a decade between each REAL game. Just not a fan of pvp or online to play games and playing this by yourself is basically Extreme Mode and that's boring unless you're a masochist.
I'm scared. I Hope the game Will be balanced around single player too, Like boss have less health ecc.ecc. Shadow of the Erdtree was mostly unbalanced with the new leveling system and the Final boss, I Hope this time they'll create a balanced experience like Dark Souls 3
the bad thing is no duo play... its either solo or trio.. i dont want to play with a random when playing with my friend... i really hope they dont go through with this decision
Honestly, I was hoping it was a dlc because theres still more unanswered questions in the base game And, knowing this is a rougelike, makes it feel like the Nameless King (and possiblt Duke’s Freja) being in there is like reusing assets for the sake of reusing them
FromSoft complimented the Seamless Coop Mod for Elden Ring, saying they wanted to include the same thing in future souls like games. Maybe this game is them testing if it can work
Maybe a bit of a reach but, I think the popularity of the seamless coop mod on PC might have had some influence on their decision to push into the realm of non-instanced coop. I'm sure that they would have done it at some point in the future but I think the seamless coop mod proved that there’s a market for it. I’m also just happy to see them branching out despite my skepticism of how fast the gameplay looks when compared to other souls games; it looks similar to the speed of Sekiro though. This might also be how I finally get my friends into Elden Ring… or I’ll just play this with my friends who already like Elden Ring!
Super cool idea, rlly like the idea of darksouls branching out into slightly different genres. I feel like the experiments that have been initiated in their other games have greatly improved future games as the best new features are reused and other things are phased out
LETS GOOOOO! Was not expecting this at all but I’m super excited to play this with friends. Been playing a lot of co op Elden Ring but always wished it was more optimized for multiplayer. Really interested to see Fromsoft’s take on the rogue like genre too. Happy that they are trying new things.
I love how From staying focus on the joy co-op and PvE. Maybe I have an introvert-bias, but lores and rich story-telling with deep meaningful interactions always excite me than randomly destroying other players in PvP-centric games. Take my money, Miyazaki!!!
premade characters casting "ultimates" like it's overwatch or whatever is not really what i am looking for in these types of games, so i don't think this one is gonna be for me. hope some people enjoy it though
I really like that Fromsoft does what many companies don‘t do anymore: experiment and find new ways to make fun games. Sekiro, though its own full game, in a way tested jumping and stealth that was implemented in Elden Ring. They do the right thing I think. And even if this game won‘t be for me I‘m sure it will still be a great game for many others.
I really wanted a second dlc. I felt there was still so much they could do with Elden Ring, but this looks fun and exciting. Now let’s pray for Elden Ring 2
@@pintobean6702 I don’t think so. There’s still a lot characters and stories that can be fleshed out more. I know there’s probably not going to be any Elden Ring 2 because Fromsoft generally doesn’t do sequels, but hey I’m still hoping
@@dagg1905there most likely will be a elden ring 2 in the future because it's literally one of their best selling game's, and as we know, they made sequel's to dark souls and miyazaki himself said that we would like to do something with bloodborne.
Even though this is a stand alone game, I actually believe that it will be lore related to the original elden ring. The whole concept of this game, its name and universe approach really seems like a few years after Ranni's ending, and that could also confirm the Age of the stars as the true canon ending
I can't wait to play this with friends. Getting to fight past bosses that have potentially been updated for Elden Ring's moveset? Hell Yes. Really hope Gundyr, Soul of Cinder, and Gael (the MVP) are fightable.
I'm completely on board with this idea. We know fromsoft is wanting to do yearly releases as they work on their next big game. And I'd love to have more than one director to root for. Hope it's successful
Elden ring and its DLC are the ultimate expression of the Souls-like, This game seems to be a stepping stone into the new era for Fromsoftware. I really want them to experiment with other ideas
2bh I'm completely unsure on this. I would really appreciate if they added a single player 'story' mode with no classes and a more linear path where you can face all the bosses. the concept of a co-op PVE battle royale rouge-like souls like just doesn't make any sense to me. Can't wait to see more information on the game.
Yeah, I feel like this is a game solely for pvp fans. Hope they don't end up like the Persona franchise where all these spinoffs occur and the next installment of ER is a decade from now.
Until I see more about what this is, I’m gonna have to say no. Elden Ring sold me on the build variety and weapon diversity. Being stuck with preset characters is just ew. Then there’s the Fortnite thing. You KNOW this community is gonna get toxic cuz inexperienced players will slow everything down. If I wanted to play an Extraction ARPG on a timer, I’d fire up Ravenswatch.
To be fair the fromsoft community is already a toxic hellhole when you ise a certain weapon against bosses. Now imagine it on a co-op game where you probably has to rush to get the best rewards. And from what I have seen from the Trailer reviving is a thing to...
Man, I hope they give us the tools to build our own levels. Revisiting places like the kingdoms of the Lost Crowns or the Ringed City would be awesome!
Incorporationg bosses from different games actually sounds super fun, imagine if we get an updated roster of Bloodborne bosses or even something like the Divine Dragon or Demon Of Hatred from Sekiro.
This could work as a great "fan service" for us soulsborne fans. We will get to fight a lot of iconic bosses with newer engine, probably new mechanics, and new type of gameplay. Honestly, I know a lot of people wanted an Elden Ring mod that fused the rest of the souls games together somehow. But instead of a mod, we get a real game with a new type of gameplay that does the job. Win-win if you ask me. And probably finally, the co-op in Fromsoft games are trying to get better. Co-op in DS and ER have continuously had lackings, often needing other mods to make it more smooth and fun. So this is a step in right direction in my opinion.
Excited to see what they do with the genre - the rougelike genre is not yet defined by a premier title, maybe Gunfire Reborn is the top tier right now? There is a lot of room for experimentation and refinement.
I dont understand how you can hate on this announcement. Has Fromsoft not earned enough good will with the gaming community? Have they not delivered banger after banger for the past decade? Let them cook. Im sure Miyazaki wouldn't just let anybody handle this IP. This game looks so fun and honestly a lot more casual. Which is great when you want to just pick up and play with friends and can come back to at anytime, unlike the mult playthroughs I've stopped and started for Eldin Ring lol.
I'm not big on Rogue-Likes/Lites, but I did like Side Order in Splatoon 3, and this one I can see being so much fun. I have a friend who is playing a From Soft game for the first time ever, that being Elden Ring, and since he's mediocre at best with a lot of games until he learns it super well, I'm playing it with him via Seamless Co-op Mod. So this will make a very fun experience with him since this time, it'll be properly balanced with multiple players in mind instead of having to tailor it in an INI setting...
i hope the game has a decent amount of content, i want it to be a game i'll play for like a week, i've seen some other games that are supposed to be multiplayer versions of other games but they are rushed and have no replayability, like the outlast trials.
Dude this literally looks like someone in a board meeting had the brilliant idea to get every asset they have and then sprinkle in anime and call it a new game. This looks like a mod, it might be great but I'm reserving all hype
Given its a roguelike the combat will be extraordinary, build variety might be limited but hey, with sekiro having a set playstyle i think it will be fun like risk of rain diff classes. Though ill be disappointed the most of the explorative aspect because i love levels that are not randomly generated. It will be an addicting replayable game that will get old fast much like i loved dead cells or isaac.
Just saw the Thumbnail but all I can say for now is I would even pay double just for it to not have pvp so you can balance the game purely on pve which allows the game to have all those sick moves that we just saw in the trailer and those were just some of them it was in my opinion one of the biggest thing Elden Ring players wanted who enjoyed the pve aspect of the game
I am honestly glad that this was the approach to this "standalone" game, because I got tired of Elden Ring and how it functioned; With Nightreign, I can play it separately and more as an Action Adventure rougelike.
The used assets drama is always so baffling. What's the point of spending years developing assets for a single game if you're gonna vault them afterwards forever because of a consumer perception that buying something that reuses assets is "less valuable". Historically it was a thing to use assets from a big development to make new games. Fallout NV was developed in a year and that was in no small part due the reused assets. And nobody would nowadays claim that it was a cashgrab or something like that. Night Reign seems to be a way of capitalizing mostly on elden ring expensive assets and seeing that From has proved they are one of the highest quality modern devs, I don't belive there's any reason for doubt
It won't be Elden Ring 2, but it presents some very welcome gameplay ideas, I hope they work out and things like Sekiro-like movement and parrying are added to "Elden Ring 2"
No i hope not.. that would be the end of the pvp...and is the only reason i play this game...to fight people, not brainless mob...and for plastation there aren't other game with this type of pvp (i mean the one with actually people, most of the other game are dead)
Considering one of the best part of Souls games is the boss fights, and this games seems to be kill adds for loot and levels, then timer ticks down to boss fight, that sounds pretty fun
@@GyutaroUpper6that’s just not true. Nobody boots up Elden Ring and says, “I can’t wait to fight some shitty Magic spammers for the fifth time this week!”
@@First-Drop-Studios Magic spammer are the easy one to take down if u understand the game, there is even a shild that deflect most of the spam, plus i play everyday, and i never find 5 spammer consecutive. If u lose agaist spammer is a skill issue.
It was very weird to see the tucking nameless king. But it does give me hope. The intelligence Carian character looks to have a Lady Maria vibe. MAYBE WE SEE BLOODBORNE RETURN IN SOME WAY. HAVE HOPE HUNTERS.
I just hope there is actually coherent canonical lore. I'm sure the gameplay will be fire. But I do hope it has a good story telling like all fromsoft games.
I'm not sure this is that kind of game. If anything, it sounds like the opposite in the hands on previews and IGN interview. A short game where you blaze through levels to grab colored loot and fight random bosses after three 15 minute "days". Plus the bosses that're straight pulls from other souls games tells me fan-service isn't off the table.

Same unfortunately, the storyline progression was out of order, the invisible red line that locke you out of quests, the no cutscenes for bosses like Romina or rellana, crap loot that I've already got the bell bearing for from the main game and it felt more linear as opposed to the main game @@tonysiouxfan
A randomized extraction rogue-like set in the Elden Ring universe? I didn’t even know that I wanted that.
Cause you don’t lol
Wouldn't call it extraction, it's just a traditional roguelite
@zzuklaa5699 "rougelike" and all its adjacent terms have become so meaningless lmao. literally nothing about this game, or most of the games that get called rougelites for that matter, play even remotely similar to rouge.
when people say "traditional rougelite" i think of games like path of achra or caves of qud, games that actually play like rouge.
@an0bserver2000 it's a roguelike. You die, you lose your progress and you start a new run. No one wants to argue semantics with some snob.
Most interesting thing being a randomizer of everything instead of just 1 game. Interested to see how this turns out
I really wanna fight Gael or Soul of Cinder with Elden Ring mechanics, and then deflects, and then... oh lord I'm getting hyped
Honestly between this and Miyazaki's comments on the Seamless Coop mod for ER, I really think this is them testing a true seamless coop experience in house, which hopefully will make it into their next "real" title
I really hope this all works out, a seamless co-op from game would be so sick
Yea but without invasion a lot player will not play this game...
@@GyutaroUpper6a lot? You mean the whiny 10%?
@@devilalastor3320 Nah nah, most of the streamer are doing pvp now, most of the good player's know that the real challenge is being able to take down a team of player's...and not brainless mob's...everyone else are just a mid player's who can't take the real challenge.
@@devilalastor3320 Baside the souls game more active now are the 1 with pvp...fighting people just hit different is too much fun...fighting mob and boss doesn't give me any satisfaction because the boss and mob's are not smart.
"Little pillager, bent on sacking the land of gold! I will swat away any and all who dare approach." I find this specific line very interesting, because it doesn't sound like Morgott is talking to you. This is an elden ring title so I assume you are fighting for the lands between, and that makes me think two things: Either we will get to chose which side we're on, with some characters from the land between and some characters from dark souls, or we might actually be on the same side as Morgott. I really hope the latter is true, it would be a really interesting change of pace, and it would be so cool at actually fight with characters like Morgott or Radahn instead of just killing them
The dialogue sounds AI-generated.
Margit is one of the Bosses you encounter in night reign so
@@rclaws3230 when the fromsoftware game's dialogue sounds like incomprehensible nonsense:
Its important to stress that this is likely going to not be your typical coop roguelike/battle royale slop with microtransactions and such. It will likely be an ACTUAL quality roguelike with making the gameplay loop as fun as possible out of the box being the focus. Like the kind of quality and talent you'd see from those amazing indie roguelikes. Remember that
It has no micro transactions and is not live service
I have a feeling it's gonna be similar in quality to something like Enter The Gungeon, and if so then it's gonna be great
@@phantasmalphoenix2990 Enter the Gungeon is a fully original game where every asset/enemy was made specifically for it. This seems to be mostly reused content.
rogue likes don't typically have micro transactions, and I wouldn't call them slop, battle royales on the other hand....
@@ilikevideogames4331 i really hate to tell you this, but a core feature of every roguelike is reusing content.
As much as I love every Fromsoft game, it kinda felt like the forumla was getting a little stale, so getting this full shakeup is exactly what I wanted and I am so excited
Fortnite elden ring is the shake up you want
@@WhySoSeriousSenpaiThis isn’t fortnite? It’s not a battle royale, it’s not not massive multiplayer, it’s not competitive, it has a roguelike progression system and proc-gen, it’s got basically 0 similarities to fortnite.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd actually i saw they have the closing circle mechanic
@@TheOrangePatriot fine, 1 similarity. Still not a battle royale and still nothing like fortnite though.
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qdwe dropping in Caelid?
People should know. Metal gear survive was a thing. Hideo kojima left the studio after metal gear 5. Some people joined him.
Mixing in Sekiro parry and wallrunning into the Souls-like gameplay makes this game a great experiment for their next big game. Deflecting hardtear proved to be insanely popular. This game will fill a void until their next big project. I was initially bummed because of the preset character thing, but I had to be honest with myself. If I found that Carian Valkyrie armor in the game I'd be wearing that anyway lol.
Well, I was too addicted to Hades, and the budget for that game was nothing in comparison to From Software, so I see something great possibly coming out of this
Initially I thought it was gonna be a live service/mobile game, so I've actually gotten more excited seeing all this additional info
One thing that has me really excited, is that the images that feature the "Mage" *ISN'T* holding a weapon outside of their Catalyst.
While Elden Ring disappointed me in this regard due to Caster gameplay being nearly 1:1 to DS3 and I don't want to get my hopes too high, but they might actually have the Mage play as an actual Caster rather than a Spellblade. (Which Elden Ring pushed hard for.)
If that's the case, I hope it's how Casters will be defined as the default in the future and Seals/Stave will finally have an actual gameplay improvement that's been long overdue.
the combat is completely revamped that only has some similarities.
Well, there's an archer in this trailer that seemingly has no melee attacks. I wouldn't be surprised if mages could only cast spells.
I agree! I hope mages and priest/cleric classes only get to use their catalyst or talismans to cast spells and not be melee-magic hybrids.
I'm excited for the new mechanics, especially the Sekiro deflect. I don't mind if it's not a full on RPG open world experience like base game but I am concerned about the multiplayer focus. I'm honestly not interested in the coop and I hope the enemies can adapt between solo and coop, instead of just being miserable for a solo experience.
elden ring bosses where fantastic for solo.
In a interview, they said that they would change the stats for solo play. So I think you're good there.
@@brandonperez8133 They already do that in ER now. I'm not really talking about stats but more about movesets and mechanics. Let's take the triple wolves for example, are they going to behave the same for a solo as it does for 3 players? If it does then it's going to be too hard for a solo player or too easy for 3 players.
Here I was, trying to refresh my playthroughs with mods, add a bit more replayability to the game.
And they give us this. Rogue-like game w/ Elden Ring mechanics.
Now I don't need any other game.
They just hired a bunch of people so this is a good opportunity to familiarize them to the studio and testing new things.
truuuueeee
A couple things we know and am hoping for
1. There are 8 new bosses, these are the bosses that spawn at end of third day (don't take my word on it)
2. You can play solo, but not duo?
3. DO NOT TRUST MIYAZAKI WHEN HE SAYS NO MORE GAMES
im hyped asf
I'll be honest, there's a slight cringe aspect of it to me. Sorta the same impression of Fortnite being a hodgepodge slop of every piece of pop-culture. From Software reusing a bunch of assets and characters in some stupid multiverse style of world for the sake of making a video game, kind of thing. It's just not something I'm into. Feels like forgoing best aspects in the story and world chasing trends.
Just the impression I get, but it's just not something I'm into. Hope it's fun though. Even if I think it's cringe, it'll be rad if it's super fun.
Yeah this is just a lazy asset flip cash grab, the fact that people are actually excited for this is insane to me. Now ofcourse this kind of thing will bring in even more of the general audiences than elden ring already did, so financially its a smart move. But yeah this is the nail in the coffin for fromsoft in my eyes, and just reassures me that we'll never see another traditional souls game again.
@joshualouw9506 bro its just a fun side-project😂 souls games will continue
@@joshualouw9506 Why do you think like this? This game is very clearly a spin-off game made by its own team within FromSoftware, made possible by Elden Ring’s massive financial success. Traditional Souls games aren’t going anywhere. Sekiro was very different than FromSoftware’s previous titles, and Elden Ring is certainly unique in many aspects. Were those titles bad because they experimented and sought to evolve the Souls formula? I don’t think so. If this game doesn’t interest you because you don’t like multiplayer co-op rogue-like games (like Risk of Rain, for example) then that’s fine. Not everyone has to enjoy that sort of game. It is, however, completely unreasonable to claim that this is “the final nail in the coffin.” Why preach doom when the next “mainline” Fromsoft game is likely already in development? It’s not like Nightreign’s development impeded on that in any substantial way.
@@cornucopiaassortedfruits1618 Nail in the coffin "in my eyes". Im not trying to speak for everyone, its just sad for me to see what I once considered to be my favourite developer in the industry, who were known for bucking convention, and not falling into industry trends, become more and more conventional with every iteration on this framework.
Im not trying to say that fromsoft wont continue to make mainline souls games, I know they will, I'm just saying that I no longer have any interest in them.
And im not trying to make some sort of objective statement that the newer games are bad or anything, they're good. They're well made games, and clearly have a lot of time, effort and love put into them, but they're just not for me. And I hope that you can understand, that as a long time fan who has been supporting From since before the release of demons souls, It does upset me that I am no longer a part of the target audience for what used to be my favourite franchise in this industry.
@joshualouw9506 Yeah, I can see that. I’m from a later generation, and I only got into Souls from Elden Ring backwards, and I’ve really enjoyed every game I’ve played from the studio. From your perspective as a long-time fan, which I now understand, I can see how you’d be disappointed with the direction of the games heading away from the original formula. After the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, I heard many calls for FromSoft to keep evolving. I can see how those voices could be frustrating for you. For your sake, and for those who echo sentiments similar to your own, I hope that a future mainline FromSoftware title will be more in line with the original formula that you and many others hold so dearly, despite the fact that I personally don’t mind seeing evolution across the games. Also, it’s possible other developers will take up the mantle! Thank you for writing a well-constructed and respectful response.
When I first saw this I said “ they better have a good explanation for why the Nameless King is here” this is that good explanation. Now I’m hyped for this game like no tomorrow.
Honestly wish there was a way they could add equipment from this to Elden Ring's game
Hugely disappointed with the idea of preset heros, I thought the hero genre crashing and burning over the past few years was proof enough that players don't want to play a roster, they want to play their own character of their own making and personalized choices..
It's a rogue like game, I was kinda turned off by it too but at the same time it's FS. They just know how to turn bad genres into great genres. So imo this will be interesting to see how it pans out, gonna play it myself when I get a new PS5
Yeah man, deep rock galactic was ass
@@Roundtable-1Not a good comparison. Deep rock you can build your own dwarf in each four class with totaly different playstyle given how you want to costumice it. And deepcore looks alot better as a roguelike then elden ring nightreign.
My biggest fear is that this franchise turns into the Persona franchise and we get all these spinoffs and a decade between each REAL game. Just not a fan of pvp or online to play games and playing this by yourself is basically Extreme Mode and that's boring unless you're a masochist.
I'm scared.
I Hope the game Will be balanced around single player too, Like boss have less health ecc.ecc.
Shadow of the Erdtree was mostly unbalanced with the new leveling system and the Final boss, I Hope this time they'll create a balanced experience like Dark Souls 3
Metal Gear Survival Incident flashbacks* 💣💥🪖⛰️
Great creativity building with the concept of a boss rush folks have been asking for. Excited to see more
the bad thing is no duo play... its either solo or trio.. i dont want to play with a random when playing with my friend...
i really hope they dont go through with this decision
I mean they didnt specify you have to have a "full" party of 3
Honestly, I was hoping it was a dlc because theres still more unanswered questions in the base game
And, knowing this is a rougelike, makes it feel like the Nameless King (and possiblt Duke’s Freja) being in there is like reusing assets for the sake of reusing them
FromSoft complimented the Seamless Coop Mod for Elden Ring, saying they wanted to include the same thing in future souls like games. Maybe this game is them testing if it can work
Maybe a bit of a reach but, I think the popularity of the seamless coop mod on PC might have had some influence on their decision to push into the realm of non-instanced coop. I'm sure that they would have done it at some point in the future but I think the seamless coop mod proved that there’s a market for it. I’m also just happy to see them branching out despite my skepticism of how fast the gameplay looks when compared to other souls games; it looks similar to the speed of Sekiro though. This might also be how I finally get my friends into Elden Ring… or I’ll just play this with my friends who already like Elden Ring!
Super cool idea, rlly like the idea of darksouls branching out into slightly different genres. I feel like the experiments that have been initiated in their other games have greatly improved future games as the best new features are reused and other things are phased out
Judging by its mechanics, I think it's more like a Fortnite than a roguelike.
LETS GOOOOO! Was not expecting this at all but I’m super excited to play this with friends. Been playing a lot of co op Elden Ring but always wished it was more optimized for multiplayer. Really interested to see Fromsoft’s take on the rogue like genre too. Happy that they are trying new things.
I love how From staying focus on the joy co-op and PvE. Maybe I have an introvert-bias, but lores and rich story-telling with deep meaningful interactions always excite me than randomly destroying other players in PvP-centric games. Take my money, Miyazaki!!!
RIP immersive single player experience I guess. I'll most likely skip this one.
premade characters casting "ultimates" like it's overwatch or whatever is not really what i am looking for in these types of games, so i don't think this one is gonna be for me. hope some people enjoy it though
Yeah, i got an excitement heart attack when i saw the poster of it, but now it just seems like a fun little time with friends. Cant wait to see it!
idk how to feel about 8 presets to use instead of building your own characters. Building your own characters is like 80% of the fun.
And also no pvp.😢
I really like that Fromsoft does what many companies don‘t do anymore: experiment and find new ways to make fun games. Sekiro, though its own full game, in a way tested jumping and stealth that was implemented in Elden Ring. They do the right thing I think. And even if this game won‘t be for me I‘m sure it will still be a great game for many others.
I really wanted a second dlc. I felt there was still so much they could do with Elden Ring, but this looks fun and exciting. Now let’s pray for Elden Ring 2
Same
Elden ring 2 would be lame, would be better for a completely new IP
@@pintobean6702 I don’t think so. There’s still a lot characters and stories that can be fleshed out more. I know there’s probably not going to be any Elden Ring 2 because Fromsoft generally doesn’t do sequels, but hey I’m still hoping
@@dagg1905there most likely will be a elden ring 2 in the future because it's literally one of their best selling game's, and as we know, they made sequel's to dark souls and miyazaki himself said that we would like to do something with bloodborne.
Super hyped, I love coop roguelike games and an Elden ring aesthetic on top sounds awesome
There’s a network test in February. You can sign up for it on January 10th, so mark those Calenders!
Start the countdown for the moment Youwy starts pumping out the next set of rankings for each weapon type .
I love rougelikes and elden ring. I am very hyped for this.
Even though this is a stand alone game, I actually believe that it will be lore related to the original elden ring. The whole concept of this game, its name and universe approach really seems like a few years after Ranni's ending, and that could also confirm the Age of the stars as the true canon ending
I can't wait to play this with friends. Getting to fight past bosses that have potentially been updated for Elden Ring's moveset? Hell Yes. Really hope Gundyr, Soul of Cinder, and Gael (the MVP) are fightable.
Excited to try new stuff 🗣️‼️
I'm completely on board with this idea. We know fromsoft is wanting to do yearly releases as they work on their next big game. And I'd love to have more than one director to root for.
Hope it's successful
Elden ring and its DLC are the ultimate expression of the Souls-like, This game seems to be a stepping stone into the new era for Fromsoftware. I really want them to experiment with other ideas
Damn I was hoping for a full experience just built around co op instead
2bh I'm completely unsure on this. I would really appreciate if they added a single player 'story' mode with no classes and a more linear path where you can face all the bosses. the concept of a co-op PVE battle royale rouge-like souls like just doesn't make any sense to me. Can't wait to see more information on the game.
Yeah, I feel like this is a game solely for pvp fans. Hope they don't end up like the Persona franchise where all these spinoffs occur and the next installment of ER is a decade from now.
@@kyleharrison713 crazy thing is? there is apparently no pvp!
I’m just excited for the Sekiro movement
I love Sekiro and I love roguelikes, this looks sick
Until I see more about what this is, I’m gonna have to say no.
Elden Ring sold me on the build variety and weapon diversity. Being stuck with preset characters is just ew.
Then there’s the Fortnite thing. You KNOW this community is gonna get toxic cuz inexperienced players will slow everything down.
If I wanted to play an Extraction ARPG on a timer, I’d fire up Ravenswatch.
Totally agree
To be fair the fromsoft community is already a toxic hellhole when you ise a certain weapon against bosses. Now imagine it on a co-op game where you probably has to rush to get the best rewards. And from what I have seen from the Trailer reviving is a thing to...
How is ravenswatch?
Man, I hope they give us the tools to build our own levels. Revisiting places like the kingdoms of the Lost Crowns or the Ringed City would be awesome!
I love it when FS gets experimental. This is definitely a Day 1 for me
This game could be great for your channel if you play with viewers. Makes me happy for the future of this channel.
If this is a multiplayer focused game just please make it the first to have cross play
Incorporationg bosses from different games actually sounds super fun, imagine if we get an updated roster of Bloodborne bosses or even something like the Divine Dragon or Demon Of Hatred from Sekiro.
I have a literal list from the first month of Elden Ring's release made of bosses from past games I want to fight again.
This could work as a great "fan service" for us soulsborne fans. We will get to fight a lot of iconic bosses with newer engine, probably new mechanics, and new type of gameplay.
Honestly, I know a lot of people wanted an Elden Ring mod that fused the rest of the souls games together somehow. But instead of a mod, we get a real game with a new type of gameplay that does the job. Win-win if you ask me. And probably finally, the co-op in Fromsoft games are trying to get better. Co-op in DS and ER have continuously had lackings, often needing other mods to make it more smooth and fun. So this is a step in right direction in my opinion.
Excited to see what they do with the genre - the rougelike genre is not yet defined by a premier title, maybe Gunfire Reborn is the top tier right now? There is a lot of room for experimentation and refinement.
I’m not as hyped now knowing it’s not a sequel, but I’m still really excited for it.
I will get this but i absolutely love roguelikes
If this title can answer some question from base game then i'm gonna buy it.
I dont understand how you can hate on this announcement. Has Fromsoft not earned enough good will with the gaming community? Have they not delivered banger after banger for the past decade? Let them cook. Im sure Miyazaki wouldn't just let anybody handle this IP. This game looks so fun and honestly a lot more casual. Which is great when you want to just pick up and play with friends and can come back to at anytime, unlike the mult playthroughs I've stopped and started for Eldin Ring lol.
This seems like it should be a free game...
I'm not big on Rogue-Likes/Lites, but I did like Side Order in Splatoon 3, and this one I can see being so much fun. I have a friend who is playing a From Soft game for the first time ever, that being Elden Ring, and since he's mediocre at best with a lot of games until he learns it super well, I'm playing it with him via Seamless Co-op Mod. So this will make a very fun experience with him since this time, it'll be properly balanced with multiple players in mind instead of having to tailor it in an INI setting...
i hope the game has a decent amount of content, i want it to be a game i'll play for like a week, i've seen some other games that are supposed to be multiplayer versions of other games but they are rushed and have no replayability, like the outlast trials.
Elden Ring Survive
Dude this literally looks like someone in a board meeting had the brilliant idea to get every asset they have and then sprinkle in anime and call it a new game. This looks like a mod, it might be great but I'm reserving all hype
Given its a roguelike the combat will be extraordinary, build variety might be limited but hey, with sekiro having a set playstyle i think it will be fun like risk of rain diff classes. Though ill be disappointed the most of the explorative aspect because i love levels that are not randomly generated. It will be an addicting replayable game that will get old fast much like i loved dead cells or isaac.
This reminds me alot of what ghost of tsushima did with Legends and im here for it
Just saw the Thumbnail but all I can say for now is I would even pay double just for it to not have pvp so you can balance the game purely on pve which allows the game to have all those sick moves that we just saw in the trailer and those were just some of them it was in my opinion one of the biggest thing Elden Ring players wanted who enjoyed the pve aspect of the game
Imagine the Night Lord is Manus/Midir/a fragment of the Abyss that persists through time and space.
This is what I call fan service
I am honestly glad that this was the approach to this "standalone" game, because I got tired of Elden Ring and how it functioned; With Nightreign, I can play it separately and more as an Action Adventure rougelike.
The used assets drama is always so baffling. What's the point of spending years developing assets for a single game if you're gonna vault them afterwards forever because of a consumer perception that buying something that reuses assets is "less valuable". Historically it was a thing to use assets from a big development to make new games. Fallout NV was developed in a year and that was in no small part due the reused assets. And nobody would nowadays claim that it was a cashgrab or something like that. Night Reign seems to be a way of capitalizing mostly on elden ring expensive assets and seeing that From has proved they are one of the highest quality modern devs, I don't belive there's any reason for doubt
It sounds great!
I wanted a game like these for sure!
I saw an interview it said that this is a parallel world where the "NIGHTLORD" has sucked in bosses and characters from other worlds
Notice how dukes dear freyja makes an appearance , ds2 bosses are goinf to be included
After this I am now fully expecting seamless co-op to be a naturally integrated part of the next mainline Fromsoft game
Thanks for the info mate
new tierlists and guides incoming!!!
Im so looking forward to this game
As i heard from insiders, the currency isnt runes but something called "Murk"
Do you think they will still have character customisation??
hope so
@ same, but I’m worried cuz based on the trailer it seems like it might just be preset characters
@@CreepyCrawly03No customisation, no pvp, no build to create...at this point they can also play the game for me😂
As an offline gamer... This is something I have to consider. Altho they said it can be played offline it's clearly a co op game
It won't be Elden Ring 2, but it presents some very welcome gameplay ideas, I hope they work out and things like Sekiro-like movement and parrying are added to "Elden Ring 2"
No i hope not.. that would be the end of the pvp...and is the only reason i play this game...to fight people, not brainless mob...and for plastation there aren't other game with this type of pvp (i mean the one with actually people, most of the other game are dead)
I wonder if this is their response to how popular the coop mod is. I know Miyazaki said he's not against a true coop gameplay experience.
Considering one of the best part of Souls games is the boss fights, and this games seems to be kill adds for loot and levels, then timer ticks down to boss fight, that sounds pretty fun
Yea but not in Elden Ring, most of the player keep playing Elden Ring because of the pvp...a coop game like this without pvp is nonsense
@@GyutaroUpper6that’s just not true. Nobody boots up Elden Ring and says, “I can’t wait to fight some shitty Magic spammers for the fifth time this week!”
@@First-Drop-Studios Magic spammer are the easy one to take down if u understand the game, there is even a shild that deflect most of the spam, plus i play everyday, and i never find 5 spammer consecutive. If u lose agaist spammer is a skill issue.
@ if you do PvP you’re not a souls player. PvP is ass and yall just can’t accept it
I made a comment in one of the streams here about how cool a rogue like souls game could be. If done right this game might be goated
It was very weird to see the tucking nameless king. But it does give me hope. The intelligence Carian character looks to have a Lady Maria vibe. MAYBE WE SEE BLOODBORNE RETURN IN SOME WAY. HAVE HOPE HUNTERS.
I just hope there is actually coherent canonical lore. I'm sure the gameplay will be fire. But I do hope it has a good story telling like all fromsoft games.
I'm not sure this is that kind of game. If anything, it sounds like the opposite in the hands on previews and IGN interview. A short game where you blaze through levels to grab colored loot and fight random bosses after three 15 minute "days".
Plus the bosses that're straight pulls from other souls games tells me fan-service isn't off the table.
I think that will be not have real lore, but i really have feelings of Gloam Eye Queen in the end of the trailer
Bossrush looks great, i hope from some of the boss souls you can bring a few weaponsn over to base elden
