What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those who may have missed the announcement, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers co-op gameplay for squads of up to three players.

The trailer showcases new weapons, movement mechanics, and a particularly noteworthy boss. The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan notes a striking resemblance to the Nameless King from Dark Souls III. Given the increased player count and the Nameless King's formidable reputation, this new boss promises an equally challenging, if not more terrifying, encounter.

That's how to register for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you prefer to complete the main game before diving into the sequel, here's a guide on obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
