Elden Ring spinoff Nightreign introduces character inspired by Shadow of the Erdtree parry mechanic

Elden Ring's new spinoff, Nightreign, will feature a character inspired by the parry mechanic from the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. This character will appeal to players who enjoy a more aggressive combat style without relying on shields. Nightreign will have eight predefined characters, including Duchess, who has a quickstep dodge and low health, reminiscent of Bloodborne. Players can expect a character focused on ranged attacks and another that utilizes a deflect mechanic similar to Sekiro. The game will also include a summoner character and a burly axe-wielder, with two character types still unannounced. The development aims to incorporate various playstyles from previous FromSoftware titles.
