The One Area Elden Ring Nightreign Heavily Focused on Is What The Elder Scrolls 6 Needs to Rectify

There’s no denying that Elden Ring Nightreign is not going to appeal to the fans of the original RPG. It’s a spin-off by FromSoftware that focuses on the co-op PvE side of things, unlike the single-player-focused experience we saw in Elden Ring.

Although the title’s reception has been lukewarm so far, FromSoftware isn’t backing down. The developer is overhauling the original game’s mechanics to fit this Roguelike experience.

One aspect that’s been given a lot of attention in Nightreign is combat. FromSoftware wants to evolve this mechanic to new heights, and that’s a path the upcoming Elder Scrolls 6 needs to follow as well.

Sachie Kobari, Elden Ring Nightreign’s director, Junya Ishizaki, opened up about the co-op multiplayer. He gave insights into FromSoftware’s innovative design philosophy and how the developer is planning to elevate the gameplay with the co-op.

Ishizaki has previously worked on level and combat design for various FromSoftware games. When asked if he’s focused on anything specifically in Nightreign, here’s what the game director had to say;

If I had to pick one aspect that we focused on the most, it would be combat. The game’s main goal is to defeat the Nightlord at the end of each nigh

According to Ishizaki, combat in Nightreign was FromSoftware’s primary development focus. The game’s world and characters have been set up to support the ultimate goal of defeating the Nightlord each night. The development team wants players to approach their targets and engage them strategically.

Let’s be honest, the combat mechanics in the Elder Scrolls series are quite outdated compared to modern games. Bethesda and Todd Howard can take a page out of Nightreign‘s approach by bringing the aspect of strategy and timing in combat for Elder Scrolls 6.

We could see enemies in Elder Scrolls 6 adapting to player behavior and constantly changing the combat dynamics. However, this should all be done in a manner without ruining the series’ core identity, just like Nightreign is doing within the Elden Ring universe.

isn’t going to support crossplay. (Image via FromSoftware)

From all the Elden Ring Nightreign trailers we’ve seen so far, the co-op experience looks to be promising. FromSoftware has highlighted the diverse roster of playable characters, each packed with unique designs and abilities.

That’s not all, in typical FromSoftware fashion, there’s also going to be intense boss battles. However, they may not be as tough as in Elden Ring; several adjustments have been made to keep them balanced for co-op.

Although Nightreign isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, a section of gamers is hyped for the title. However, there’s one glaring issue with the co-op that everyone seems to have forgotten about: a lack of crossplay.

Even though the game is launching on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox Series S/X, PS5, and PC, Nightreign won’t support crossplay. That’s super disappointing for a lot of players out there. Due to this, all players will be locked onto their respective platforms.

This limitation is quite surprising, as FromSoftware wants to deliver the ultimate co-op experience. However, it restricts players on different systems.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is all set to release on 30 May 2025.
