ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN News

Fromsoftware has just dropped the latest Elden Ring Nightreign patch, and it's making runs easier for solo and co-op players alike. My main issue with Nightreign across the weekend has been in-game balance, so it's brilliant to see Fromsoftware already take aim at this problem and start to fix it with an update and maintenance. So if you're hoping for improvements, Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.01.1 is here to answer the call.

Elden Ring Nightreign's latest patch, version 1.01.1, makes the co-op RPG somewhat easier for single player Nightreigners. It boosts the number of runes awarded for Nightreign solo expeditions, and gives you one free automatic revive per boss battle. A great day indeed for people who wish the game's multiplayer were still more in-game covenant than feature.

By strange coincidence, the odds that I will actually play Nightreign have now gone up 1.011 times. I was pretty disenchanted by Nic's review, in which he summarised the game's Extended Fromverse battle royale bum-rushing as "a stripped-off part of FromSoft's creative identity with little appeal absent the whole". If they can significantly decrease the reliance on jolly cooperation I'll be much more interested - I had similar feelings about Helldivers 2 - though this still feels like a game I'm comfortable skipping.
