Prepare for Elden Ring Nightreign by Mastering This Free Xbox Game Pass Soulslike

Elden Ring Nightreign is coming out on May 30, and if you haven’t played a Soulslike or Roguelike title in a while, you’ll want to warm up a bit before FromSoftware’s new co-op adventure comes out. If you’re on Xbox Game Pass, we have a suggestion for you. 2023’s Lords of the Fallen by CI Games is the perfect warmup.

If you’re rusty, Lords of the Fallen will whip you back into shape. If you’re new to the genre, it’s a slightly more forgiving entry point, but still hard enough to prepare you for whatever FromSoft has cooked up this time.

Are you ready for the challenges of Elden Ring Nightreign?

If you’re looking for a brief but intense pre-Nightreign prep course, Lords of the Fallen fits neatly into a five-day window. Released back in October 2023, the game’s full campaign clocks in at 35 to 45 hours. But for this particular use case, you could easily experience the majority of the game’s mechanics and difficulty in just a few days.

Lords of the Fallen has easily become one of my favorite souls like games. Such a major improvement from last I played and I just cannot wait to see what

That includes mastering its dual-realm mechanic, where death in the Axiom (living) world sends you to the more punishing Umbral (dead) realm for a second shot at survival. Even if you don’t see the credits roll, playing Lords of the Fallen before Nightreign can reacquaint you with the mechanics of the genre.

Unlike some of FromSoftware’s slower-paced entries like Dark Souls 1, Lords of the Fallen leans more into aggressive mechanics. You can tell that the game has taken the best kind of inspiration from different titles in the genre. The combat system is more forgiving, and ranged magic builds are probably the best we’ve seen.

200k units flying definitely off in 10 days since v2.0 dropped!
650k+ moved since Oct 23, 2023.
1M total (preorders, digital + physical) by Oct 23, 2023!

Originally released in October 2023, Lords of the Fallen has benefited from consistent post-launch support. The post-launch efforts from the developer recently culminated in a major Version 2.0 update released in April. And if we can tell you one thing, it’s that the game is in a different league compared to when it first came out.

At launch, Lords of the Fallen had some pretty clear issues, and it led to the game having an initial Mixed rating on Steam. But as of May 2025, the reviews have gone up to Mostly Positive, and it’s honestly impressive. With how easily players are swayed these days, it’s not easy to pull off a comeback. It’s no No Man’s Sky, but still very impressive.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription and are waiting for Elden Ring Nightreign, this is the game to check out while waiting. You may or may not finish the game in time depending on how often you play, but it’s a great warmup option nonetheless. And hey, maybe you’ll become a fan.

Elden Ring Nightreign releases on May 30, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
