Elden Ring Nightreign Receives Another Update: Here’s What’s New

Enhancements Arrive in Elden Ring Nightreign Update 1.02.1

FromSoftware continues to enhance Elden Ring: Nightreign, the cooperative spinoff of Elden Ring. The latest update, Version 1.02.1, introduces new features and addresses various issues. Its implementation requires temporary server shutdowns.

New Game Mode ‘Depths of Night’ and Upcoming DLC in Elden Ring Nightreign Development

Since its launch last May, Elden Ring: Nightreign has seen continuous development from FromSoftware. In recent months, the game has introduced tougher versions of all existing bosses (except Heolstor) and implemented duo expeditions, a feature highly requested by players. Looking ahead, rumors suggest a new game mode called “Depths of Night” is in development. This mode is anticipated to offer endless expeditions with a ranking system, allowing players to compete globally. An official announcement regarding “Depths of Night” and the first major paid DLC, expected later this year, is still pending.

Elden Ring Nightreign Update Enhances Storm Ruler and Introduces Darkness Sovereign Caligo

Elden Ring: Nightreign’s Version 1.02.1 update brings several key improvements and content additions. FromSoftware has targeted the Storm Ruler weapon skill for significant enhancements. Despite its popularity, the studio noted its underutilization. To boost its effectiveness, the update reduces its reload time, increases its power, and improves its execution speed, promising more impactful damage even when the storm is not fully charged. Players can also now rotate the Darkness Sovereigns to earn exclusive rewards. This update notably introduces the sovereign version of Caligo.
