  • The Elden Ring Nightreign launch trailer features the Evanescence song, Bring Me to Life, setting the tone for high-octane boss battles.
  • Evanescence also provided a song for Netflix’s Devil May Cry anime recently, titled Afterlife.

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have unveiled the launch trailer for “Elden Ring: Nightreign“, a remarkable reveal due to the inclusion of the popular Evanescence track, which enhances the intensity of the thrilling boss fights. Notably, “Elden Ring: Nightreign” is a cooperative spin-off of the 2022 hit game with a soulslike feel, “Elden Ring“. The announcement of this game was one of the most exciting surprises during The Game Awards 2024.

Due for release on May 30th, “Nightreign” presents both solo and multiplayer (up to three players) experiences where you’ll work together to combat formidable bosses in the newly generated version of Limgrave, called Limveld. If you can’t wait until then, there’s a trick for fans in New Zealand to play early, thanks to Xbox consoles’ simpler region-switching mechanism. Those patiently waiting for the official launch will find the new trailer from FromSoftware highly engaging, particularly appealing to millennials.

On various platforms such as YouTube and social media, Bandai unveiled the launch trailer for “Nightreign,” showcasing intense boss-battle action. This reveal comes after Caligo Miasma of Night from “Elden Ring Nightreign” was presented, introducing a formidable ice dragon for players to overcome. To enhance the excitement, the trailer uses Evanescence’s hit song “Bring Me to Life” in the background, making the gameplay footage more impactful and stirring nostalgia among millennials who enjoy nu metal. Bandai further tapped into the emotional side of their audience by accompanying the trailer with a motivational statement that reads: “When your comrades have fallen and all seems hopeless, find the resilience within and awaken the spirit of early 2000’s alternative music. Rouse me.
