Last year, FromSoftware promised that Elden Ring will not get any more DLCs after Shadow of the Erdtree. However, it’s difficult to leave The Lands Between behind. Late last year, the studio unveiled Elden Ring Nightreign, a standalone spinoff set in the same world. As the year gets into full swing, FromSoftware has finally announced when the new game is coming.

Elden Ring Nightreign will premiere a new story for the franchise. As is tradition, the game’s story is mired in mystery. Prior to actually playing the game, it’s impossible to figure out what the plot will be about. However, the teasers are adamant that jolly cooperation is the way to go for the game.

Besides playing solo, players can team up with up to two other players to explore the Lands Between. Like a roguelite, each run consists of a three day-and-night cycle. All players have a limited time to explore the world, gain loot, and fight bosses. At the end of the third night, everyone converges to fight a terrifying Nightlord, one of the new bosses to fight in Nightreign.

Winning will, of course, count as a victory. However, a death will still grant players powerful relics to further customize future runs.

FromSoftware has now announced that the game will launch on May 30 for all major platforms.

Available editions

Elden Ring Nightreign will come in four packages. The standard edition will come with the base game and the “It’s Raining” gesture for preorders. The deluxe edition will come with the unannounced DLC, a digital artbook, and a mini soundtrack.

Meanwhile, the Seekers Edition, available only for the PlayStation 5, comes with a steelbook and the deluxe edition’s perks. Finally, the Collector’s Edition comes with a steelbook, a hardcover artbook, the digital soundtrack, eight Nightfarer cards, and a 25cm statue of Wylder.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia will also sell a 1:1 replica of the Helmet of Wylder. The company will produce only 9,999 pieces, available only through Bandai Namco’s online store.

Call of Duty, Aston Martin unveil Dreadnought for Modern Warfare 4

A mobile fortress available to locate in key areas

Published

Call of Duty and Aston Martin revealed the Aston Martin Dreadnought, a bespoke, in-game SUV concept specially created for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

Developed by Aston Martin’s design team in collaboration with the game’s developers and publishers, the Dreadnought pairs supercar-level performance and a full-blooded V12 engine with a military-grade armored exterior.

This configuration makes it the most aggressive all-wheel drive vehicle in the title.

Built as a mobile fortress rather than a joyride, it is designed to push objectives, save teammates under fire, and drive straight through contested ground while its armor plating absorbs heavy incoming damage.

Ground in the physics of the Modern Warfare universe, the unapologetic, uncompromising tactical SUV delivers a stunning exploration of extreme visual language. At the same time, it brings an engaging and dynamic player experience.

Its striking form has been imaged for elite tactical performance, with optimized aerodynamics and fully integrated digital command interfaces.

The exquisite design details emphasize the Dreadnought’s high luxury heritage. There’s the herringbone weave of the exterior carbon fiber, as well as the Oxford Tan leather dashboard, door panel details, and metallic gold gear lever.

Players will be able to locate the Dreadnought in key points of interest within both DMZ and Call of Duty: Warzone modes.

Fans got to see a full-size physical interpretation of the Dreadnought at Fanatics Fest NYC, ahead of its in-game debut on 23 October.

In other news, Call of Duty movie director and co-writer Peter Berg revealed that the film will be set in the Modern Warfare universe.
