FromSoftware removes messaging system in upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign spin-off

comicbook.com — January 6, 2025 at 07:01 PM UTC

FromSoftware announced that the upcoming co-op spin-off, Elden Ring Nightreign, will remove the messaging system that has been a staple in its previous games. This change is due to shorter gameplay sessions, lasting about 40 minutes. Unlike Elden Ring, Nightreign will not allow players to explore a vast open world. Instead, it will focus on larger engagements, limiting the time available for players to read or write messages. Elden Ring Nightreign is set to release in 2025 on multiple platforms. A playtest is scheduled for February, with sign-ups starting soon.
