Elden Ring Nightreign Release Time for Your Time Zone

Sure, here’s the rewritten article:

You know how sometimes things just have to be more complex than they should be? Well, the Elden Ring Nightreign release time is exactly that. I mean, why keep things simple when you can complicate them, right?

So, this new thing, Nightreign, is like a multiplayer, roguelike spinoff of Elden Ring. Pretty cool idea, if you’re into that sort of thing, but here’s the kicker — the release schedule is totally bonkers. Depending on whether you’re with a console or a PC crew, your schedule’s gonna vary. And just to add a sprinkle of chaos, there’s no crossplay. So if your pals are on PC and you’re not, well, tough luck, buddy. You’re playing in your own little bubble.

Oh, right, let’s talk about times. Because apparently, that’s a thing. If you’re on PS5 or Xbox, plan your life around a midnight release on Friday, May 30 — except if you’re in the Americas. Because why make it straightforward, am I right?

And if you’re a PC player? Well, get this: the whole world unlocks it at the same time, 12 a.m. CEST. Time zones, man. They always mess with my head. Maybe yours too.

Now, Nightreign, what’s the deal there? It’s a quirky twist on Elden Ring, smack dab in the middle of a roguelike experience. But, and it’s a big but, no two-player mode at launch. So, if you were planning a duo adventure, might wanna think again. It’s either solo or three’s a party. Weird setup, if you ask me.

Anyway, there are eight character classes. Think of them as NPCs you got used to in the original Elden Ring. Each adventure is like three nights of mayhem, ending with a boss battle. And hey, some of these bosses? Straight out of Dark Souls — FromSoftware’s favorite throwbacks. Maybe there’s a grand universe they’re hinting at. Who knows.

For something that runs you $40, it’s not quite the epic saga you’d expect from a full-on FromSoftware game, but it’s a neat little side quest for those diehard fans of Elden Ring. If you’re curious, check out Polygon’s preview—because why hear it from me when they’ve got more deets?
