FromSoftware’s announcement identified eight Nightfarers and eight major threats at reveal.

Is Nightreign Elden Ring 2?

No. FromSoftware describes Nightreign as a spin-off, not a numbered sequel. Its structure and design are different from the original Elden Ring, even though it draws on that game’s world and elements.

How does Nightreign play?

Players select Nightfarers and attempt to survive a changing three-day cycle. They explore and strengthen their characters as the field changes, then face a Nightlord. The game supports cooperative play for up to three players as well as single-player. The reveal announcement introduced this core run structure.
