Elden Ring Nightreign Next Update 1.02 Releasing Soon and We Know Some of the Changes Incoming

As per FromSoftware’s announcement, the Elden Ring Nightreign 1.02 update is set to introduce several enhancements specifically for single-player journeys, states the developer.

  • The effect “Automatic Revival Upon Defeat”, which allows revival once per night boss battle, will be added to solo expeditions.
  •  The amount of runes gained will be increased.

It’s uncertain if additional enhancements or glitch resolutions will accompany the update release; however, I anticipate that some existing issues may be addressed in the process.

Overwhelmed with excitement here as a gamer, I can’t help but share the thrilling news – the first day of Nightreign was an absolute triumph! The Elden Ring name certainly played its part in attracting over two million players! The team announced this incredible number and extended their heartfelt gratitude to us gamers, saying, “Darkness descended upon Limveld, but two million of us Nightfarers stood tall against it. Thank you for your unwavering support.

I’d like to clarify that it’s likely folks are familiar with Nightreign and haven’t mistakenly thought it was a follow-up to Elden Ring or that it shares the same style of gameplay as FromSoftware’s widely acclaimed game, Elden Ring.

If you’re undecided about Elden Ring Nightreign, our review gave it high praise. Resident critic Jimmy Lara expressed that initially, he was apprehensive about FromSoftware dabbling in multiplayer territory with Nightreign. However, after numerous playthroughs and victories alongside other Nightfarers, it’s evident his doubts were misplaced. Nightreign isn’t just a multiplayer spin-off; it demonstrates FromSoftware’s talent for innovation while preserving the core appeal that makes Souls games so captivating.

If that’s not a big enough praise, then I don’t know what is.
