Elden Ring: Nightreign hands-on: 6 hours with FromSoftware's wild new co-op roguelike action RPG remix

FromSoftware producer Yasuhiro Kitao asks us to forgive him if he seems nervous. He doesn't, but I'd have already sweated through my socks if I was in his shoes—he's about to let us play FromSoftware's next game a full week before the rest of the world learns it exists with a surprise trailer at The Game Awards. After the 25-million-selling phenomenon of Elden Ring, this follow-up is the last thing any of us expect. Because it looks—and I say this with zero shade—kinda like a mod.
