I didn’t realize how much Elden Ring Nightreign upgraded its Dark Souls skins until I saw them side-by-side with the originals

BonfireVN, both data miner and YouTube content creator, recently shared a new video featuring a comparison between the throwback skins in Elden Ring: Nightreign and their initial models from Dark Souls. I found it quite astonishing to see how significantly these designs have been refined since their earlier appearances.

I often see myself as a hardened, no-nonsense individual who’s not easily swayed, especially when it comes to matters of intellectual property. However, if I’m being completely honest, my inner child can’t help but get excited when I encounter references to previous intellectual properties, like the return of Dark Souls bosses in Nightreign, or the Dark Souls skins you earn by defeating the game’s final boss. It brings a nostalgic joy that I can’t help but appreciate.

It seems I might have mistakenly thought that all these models were simple transfers from their initial or Dark Souls versions, but BonfireVN’s comparison reveals that many textures and intricate details have been refined to suit Elden Ring’s enhanced graphics more effectively.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but wax nostalgic about my favorite reskinned armor – the Llewellyn/Drang set for Ironeye in Dark Souls 2 and 3. The new fur collar design is a massive overhaul, giving it a fresh, robust look. Compared to its previous iteration in Dark Souls 3, the texture detail on this updated version is leaps and bounds better, making it a true generational improvement.

A genuine helmet that matches the set. The previous versions left style-conscious players searching for a coordinating hat, while Ironeye boasts a stylish helmet and hood combo that I wish had been available in the original games.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but marvel at the subtle, tasteful updates in the new skins. It’s got me pondering about what exciting changes might be coming up next. First off, I eagerly anticipate the future BonfireVN videos showcasing the iconic Dark Souls bosses alongside their original counterparts, and second, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the potential Nightreign DLC, which could bring along new skins to spice things up. My ultimate wish? A Sir Alonne outfit for Executor – Dark Souls 2’s beloved DLC samurai boss resonates deeply with me, and he embodies the character in a way that’s simply perfect.
