From Software has made it clear that Elden Ring: Nightreign will support cross-generational play for players within the same console family, but cross-play will not be available. This means that, for instance, a PlayStation 4 gamer can team up with someone on PlayStation 5, and Xbox One users can connect with Xbox Series X and S owners. This decision follows a similar structure established in the original Elden Ring, which limited summoning assistance to players within the same platform family.
The excitement for Elden Ring: Nightreign comes with the notable mention of its multiplayer and cooperative gameplay experience. However, the absence of cross-platform play has dampened some expectations. Just like its predecessor, players will be bound by their platform selection when seeking help from fellow gamers, which could pose challenges for friends playing on different systems. Many had hoped that cross-play would enhance the community experience, but this does not seem to be the case.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to launch in 2025 and will be positioned as a fully featured game, highlighting From Software’s desire to offer a complete package without a live-service model. Players can expect to unlock all content through regular gameplay rather than needing to engage in microtransactions or extra purchases. This approach reiterates the developer’s commitment to delivering an extensive, narrative-driven experience, appealing to both new and returning fans of the franchise.
