With the recent launch of Elden Ring Nightreign, it’s reported that over 2 million players have embarked on their journey within the first 24 hours. This new spin-off sees players exploring the challenging limits of FromSoftware’s realm, despite facing criticisms regarding gameplay difficulty. In a statement, Bandai Namco acknowledged this milestone, stating:

“Darkness fell over Limveld, and two million Nightfarers rose up against it. Thank you for your support.”

While the player engagement is notable, the game currently holds a mixed rating on Steam, with only 64% of players leaving positive reviews. The challenging gameplay has been a point of contention, especially in solo modes, which many players find particularly punishing. It will be intriguing to see if future updates can rectify these challenges and alter the game’s reception.
