Elden Ring Nightreign Won’t Be Live-Service, Launches May 30

Elden Ring Nightreign has officially received its release date, set to launch on May 30, 2025. The game is generating excitement, especially as players eagerly await a network test happening soon. Director Junya Ishizaki reassures fans that Nightreign will not follow the live service model, aiming instead to provide a complete gaming experience upon purchase. This decision has been welcomed by those who prefer a more traditional approach to gameplay without the constraints of constantly updating for new content.

No, Elden Ring Nightreign will not be a live service game. Director Junya Ishizaki confirmed that the game focuses on delivering a complete experience on launch day, with all content available and unlockable without the need for ongoing updates typical of live service titles.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, took the gaming world by storm upon its release in early 2022, merging the studio's renowned Souls-like mechanics with an expansive open world, crafted in collaboration with fantasy author George R.R. Martin. This new installment, Nightreign, promises to continue the legacy with fresh gameplay elements and an enriched storyline, all while respecting the deep-rooted traditions that fans appreciate.
