Elden Ring: Nightreign appears to bring the worlds of Dark Souls and Elden Ring together for the first time, as eagle-eyed fans have spotted✨ iconic Lordan residents in The Lands Bꦇetween.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring: Nightreign was announced at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Game Awards last night - it's a standalone, three-player adventure played in 40-minute 🅰bursts, but its trailer also revealed something particularly interesting for Dark Souls lore-heads. Iconi🧸c characters from the Souls trilogy were spotted in the video - the Firekeeper from Dark Souls 1 and the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 were both spotted in the video.

, game director Junya Ishizaki says that "we'd like fans to think of Nightreign as an Elden Ring spin-off," where "the story is completely separate and parallel to the world of Elden Ring's♚."

If you need a lore reason for that, you'll find it in the shattering. Ishizaki and co "didn't want to encroach" on the story of Elden Ring too much,🐻 so Nightreign will "coexist" in a "completely separate branch of the Elden Ring story," which the Shattering is a key part of, essentially splitting the worlds into parallel versions of one another. also suggests that those Dark souls enemies are "representing creatures that have strayed from another universe" - guest 𒊎stars, rather than the lead antagonists, it seems.

Given the Sekiro vibes that are also present in Nightreign, this might be a good time to get to grips with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FromSoftware games.
