<p><a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/product/elden-ring-nightreign”>Elden Ring Nightreign</a> hasn’t even been out for 24 hours, and it’s already putting up some impressive player count numbers. According to a new <a href=”https://x.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/1928454864767463925″>post</a> on X by publisher Bandai Namco, 2 million players jumped into Nightreign on its first day, which is technically today, although the game launched for some yesterday, depending on region.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That’s an impressive feat for any game, but not all that surprising for a spin-off of the uber-popular <a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/product/elden-ring”>Elden Ring</a>, which <a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/04/28/elden-ring-celebrates-30-million-copies-shipped”>surpassed 30 million copies shipped</a> last month. Despite featuring “Elden Ring” in the title, Nightreign differs from its predecessor. Instead of a single-player action-RPG focused on exploration, mystery, and overcoming challenges, Nightreign is a three-player co-op roguelite spin on Elden Ring about min-maxing efficiency in each run.&nbsp;</p><iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ frameBorder=”0″ width=”640″ height=”360″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/pRhcXR-1SeY” frameborder=”0″ allow=”autoplay” allowfullscreen=”true”>&nbsp;</iframe><p>It’s a great time, and you can read about why in <a href=”https://www.gameinformer.com/review/elden-ring-nightreign/encapsulating-efficiency”><em>Game Informer’s</em> Elden Ring Nightreign review</a>.
