Elden Ring has multiplayer options, with the ability to play alongside friends for short periods of time, fight opponents in PvP battles, and team up to face bosses.

The creator of Elden Ring recently downplayed the idea of a sequel but said there could be ways to expand the franchise. His words were proven during The Game Awards 2024, when Elden Ring Nightreign was announced for PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC via Steam, with a 2025 release date.
Elden Ring Is Going Monster Hunter
What’s most shocking about Elden Ring Nightreign is that the series is leaning into the multiplayer, with combat that looks straight out of the Monster Hunter franchise.
The question now is which side it leans closer to, Elden Ring or Monster Hunter? The trailer didn’t fully show one over the other, though the official FromSoftware Twitter/X account has called it an action survival game.
A Bandai Namco press release has confirmed that Elden Ring Nightreign is set in an alternate timeline from the original game and will involve players choosing from eight different characters as the map slowly shrinks over a three-day and night cycle. The ultimate goal is to defeat a new foe, known as the Nightlord.

Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Elden Ring spans over hundreds of bosses, but the greatest of them all wasn’t even showcased till fans took it in their own hands.
It will also be exciting to see if any of the iconic and brutally difficult boss fights from Elden Ring will appear, such as Malenia or Radahn. Those bosses where a nightmare to fight on their own, so they’ll need to be made even tougher for a group.
Elden Ring Nightreign was easily one of the biggest reveals of The Game Awards 2024 and it’s easily going to be one of 2025’s hugest games. Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait long to return for more fights in The Lands Between.
