Now Playing: Elden Ring Nightreign GameSpot Video Review

GameSpot’s glowing review of Nightreign acknowledged that “it never feels like it was designed to accommodate a single player.” The game supports three-player co-op or solo play, but not duos. Two-player co-op was overlooked in development, but could come to the game later.

The new Nightreign patch also makes general balance adjustments, including increasing the number of rare relics. In terms of bug fixes, the update fixes a bug where certain weapon types had higher damage than intended and an issue for camera behavior working improperly. The patch also fixes a bug that could cause the HUD to fail to display, along with a bug where background music would not play.

You can see the full patch notes below.

If you’re just getting started with Nightreign, be sure to consult GameSpot’s Nightreign guides hub, in which we discuss top tips to know, how multiplayer works, and how to unlock all the skins, among other things.
