The evening approaches, with Bandai Namco and FromSoftware officially announcing the worldwide launch times for Elden Ring: Nightreign.
The highly-anticipated game Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch officially on May 30, specifically at midnight Eastern Daylight Time. Keep in mind that due to timezone differences, some areas will be able to start playing a bit ahead of schedule. For instance, gamers residing on the West Coast in Pacific Time Zone can begin their adventure with Elden Ring Nightreign as early as 9pm on May 29.
Platform variation is another factor to consider. According to Bandai Namco’s announcement, PC gamers will get early access in most regions, starting a bit earlier than console users. For example, PC players on the U.S. East Coast can start playing from 6pm on May 29, while console owners have to wait until midnight.
Bandai Namco said pre-load is available 48 hours prior to launch time on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam. In iggn.ru‘s interview with Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki, the Nightreign lead discussed the choice to lean on solos and trios as the core experience options. When asked why there’s no option for a pair of players to drop in together without a matchmade third player, Ishizaki said it was overlooked.
Ishizaki mentioned that the oversight during development was that it started as a two-player option only, which wasn’t initially planned. He apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused. Previously, they had expressed their intention to create a multiplayer cooperative game designed for three players, and this was the central concept of Nightreign.
Ishizaki explained, “I, too, appreciate single-player experiences, and we designed the game with that in mind from the beginning. We put a great deal of work into making it enjoyable for solo players, but in doing so, we may have unintentionally neglected the duos aspect. However, we are conscious of this and plan to address it as part of our post-launch support.
If you’re only playing with your preferred duo partner, keep an open mind as there’s always a chance a new player could join your game. It might turn out that this person is quite skilled!
