Elden Ring Nightreign to get DLC bosses and characters in yet more evidence that it's a From Extended Universe game
1 min read
Summary
Elden Ring Nightreign is a multiplayer-focused spin-off from the main game Elden Ring and appears to be the basis for a connected universe from software.
This theory has been helped by the announcement of additional playable characters and bosses via DLC, however, since this news the Steam page mentions of the DLC have been removed, leaving the specific details unclear.
Nightreign does however already feature several bosses from previous From Software games, including Centipede Demon from Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3’s dragon-riding solar warrior the Nameless King.
From Software game director Junya Ishizaki explained the return of these characters reflecting the need for variety in a battle royale-flavoured bossrush experience and that the company is referencing previous titles to provide variety.
Some speculations from RPG enthusiasts include Bloodborne’s sorrowful cosmic being Ebrietas and Sekiro’s Headless varmints.
The news speculates how From Software might justify their presence at the level of environmental storytelling and backstory with the potential outcome that it ends up as a metaphor for seasonal update entropy.
