Elden Ring: Nightreign Surpasses 2 Million Sales on Launch Day

FromSoftware’s latest release, Elden Ring: Nightreign, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing 2 million units sold globally within its first 24 hours, as announced by publisher Bandai Namco. This impressive figure encompasses both physical shipments and digital sales across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

Despite being a spin-off with a roguelike structure and a focus on cooperative play, Nightreign has garnered significant attention. The game introduces players to Limveld, a procedurally generated world where they must survive three in-game days, culminating in challenging boss battles against the formidable Nightlords. Players can choose from eight distinct classes, each offering unique abilities, and engage in three-player cooperative expeditions.

Mixed Reception Highlights Areas for Improvement

While the sales figures are impressive, Nightreign has received mixed reviews from players and critics alike. On Steam, the game holds a 64% positive rating, marking it as one of FromSoftware’s lower-rated launches on the platform . Critics have pointed out the game’s punishing difficulty, especially for solo players, and issues with matchmaking in cooperative sessions.

In response to player feedback, FromSoftware has announced plans for a new patch aimed at addressing some of these concerns. The upcoming update will introduce features such as the ability to revive once per night boss upon dying and increased Rune rewards for solo expeditions.

What Players Can Expect

Elden Ring: Nightreign offers a unique blend of action RPG and roguelike elements within the beloved Elden Ring universe. Players, known as Nightfarers, must navigate a dynamic environment that changes with each expedition, making strategic decisions about combat and exploration. The game’s cooperative focus encourages players to team up and combine their unique abilities to overcome the challenges posed by the encroaching night and its formidable bosses.

For those interested in experiencing Nightreign, the game is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
