- Fans are skipping on buying Elden Ring Nightreign.
- They complain that the game seems bland and is nothing like a Souls game, with repetitive gameplay.
- Moreover, Miyazaki and George R.R Martin aren’t attached to the project, so the vision would be entirely different.
Everyone in the gaming world is familiar with Elden Ring, which helped establish the Souls genre as a mainstream genre. The game has sold 30 million units to date and spawned a DLC and now a spin-off multiplayer title.
While the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was another resounding success for FromSoft, the same won’t be the case for the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign spin-off. So far, the co-op PvE has failed to raise eyebrows, and the majority of fans are now unwilling to buy the game.
Why it matters: Elden Ring is arguably one of the greatest new IPs in recent years, and Nightreign is on the track to tarnish its legacy.
Fans wanted a solid multiplayer experience; instead, they’re getting a half-baked co-op experience. Moreover, this will be FromSoft’s first venture into the multiplayer infrastructure, and it isn’t looking that great so far.
According to players, early network tests were quite subpar. The game even lacked basic features like the ability to rejoin, showing how incomplete was months before launch.
Additionally, replayability is one of the major concerns for the game. Elden Ring Nightreign lacks variety, and even in its network tests, the game quickly went stale after a few hours of fun, with nothing really much to do.
Even on the basic level fans say that the online roguelite aspect of Elden Ring Nightreign lacks anything they loved about the Souls games. The game will also be non-canonical, so the smaller-scaled lore is also not worth exploring, as suggested by fans.
The performance was also lackluster, and despite such low requirements, it seemed to suffer severely, with even the PS5 Pro failing to maintain 60 FPS. The legendary Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin weren’t involved in Elden Ring Nightreign either, so expect a completely different vision for the game.
