Here's exactly when you can play Elden Ring Nightreign

The PC release times for Elden Ring Nightreign have been revealed, so here's precisely when you can jump into the co-op soulslike on Steam.

When is Elden Ring Nightreign coming out? It's almost time to return to the Lands Between, but now you can bring a couple of pals along for the ride. Elden Ring Nightreign is putting a co-op, roguelike twist on one of the greatest RPGs ever made, and its debut is just around the corner. I'm sure there are quite a few of you out there eager to jump in at the earliest possible moment, and now Bandai Namco and Fromsoftware have revealed the exact Elden Ring Nightreign release times for every region around the world.

Abandoning the sprawling open-world for a procedurally generated arena full of random (but no less daunting) foes, Elden Ring Nightreign classes (or Nightfarers) to choose from. Archers can opt for the Ironeye, spellcasters can get familiar with the Revenant, or those that love to soak up damage and use heavy melee attacks can go for the tanky Guardian.

While the focus is on perfecting runs with your fellow Nightfarers and mastering your class' combat capabilities, Elden Ring Nightreign still isn't giving up on one of Fromsoftware's biggest strengths – its storytelling. From simple text-based lore to co-op game, largely revolving around the pasts of the eight characters you can play as.

If you're thinking of jumping straight in with friends, it's also worth bearing in mind that, frustratingly, cross-play between PC and consoles isn't ed in Nightreign. It's a shame, because it's become an expected feature of modern multiplayer games, but it won't be present at launch.
