Night is approaching as Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have confirmed the global release time for Elden Ring Nightreign.
The official release date for Elden Ring Nightreign is May 30th in Midnight EDTfor PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X | s. However, as usual, some time zone differences mean that certain areas can be logged on and played a little earlier. For example, players on the West Coast of Pacific Timezone can activate Eldenling Night Grain at 9pm on May 29th.
The platforms are also different. According to a post by Bandai Namco, PC players can go a little further than everyone else in most regions. On the US East Coast, PC players can start at 6pm on May 29th, with console owners waiting until midnight.
Bandai Namco said preloading was available 48 hours before launch time on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. In an interview with Passthecontroller with Ishizaki Junya, director of Elden Ring Nightrign, Nightreign lead discussed the choice to rely on solos and trios as core experience options. When asked why a pair of players had no option to stop by together without a third player in the matchmaid, Ishizaki said he was overlooked.
“The simple answer is that this was simply overlooked during development as a choice for two players. So I’m sorry,” Ishizaki said. “As I said before, we tried to make this a three-player multiplayer cooperative game. We managed to balance the three players, so that’s the main focus and that’s the core of Nightreign.
“Of course, I understand that myself and often want an era where I play, so this was something I thought of from the beginning,” Ishizaki continued. “And we’ve put a lot of effort into creating this experience that is playable for solo players as much as the rules and the new system allowed. So, by putting all the effort into that aspect, we overlooked and ignored the aspect of DUOS, which is something we consider as we look at support after launch.”
Therefore, if you’re playing with your favorite duo partner, be prepared to accept a random third into your life. who knows? You might match someone who is pretty good at the game.
