Hello. I live under rock. What is Nightreign?

A $40 co-op focused spinoff. From what we understand the game loop will be jumping into a randomly generated world with friends and surviving with friends for 3 days. There’s a playtest soon, we’ll see how it actually plays then.

3 days of surviving against Elden Ring enemies or what? Sounds like a weird departure from SoulsBorne games.

A cash grab from a corporation that doesn’t want to pay artists to make an original game.

I’d say you have a point if FromSoft didn’t just publish two major games within a year of each other (Elden Ring, Armored Core) and then a game-sized DLC on top of that.
Could Nightreign have just been another Elden Ring DLC instead? I don’t know, maybe. But it’s not priced as a full game and I’m not sure why people expect it to be one.

It’s an original game. Many assets are not original. Many others will be. This is a very normal part of game development. As much as “asset flips” were an issue back when the Steam floodgates opened, people seem to have really misunderstood what the problem actually was.
