Their appearance is due to the Night Lord, per director Junya Ishizaki, who wouldn't specifically outline which foes made the jump.

Elden Ring Nightreign leverages the Lands Between setting like its predecessor, but it will also feature enemies from other FromSoftware franchises, including Dark Souls. Director Junya Ishizaki confirmed this while speaking to Famitsu.

Why is this happening? It’s due to the influence of the Nightlord – the big bad players must survive three days and three nights in Limveld to slay. Since the region is an alternate universe to Elden Ring’s Limgrave, it appears that anything goes.

While FromSoftware didn’t outright confirm which enemies are appearing, fans have spotted The Nameless King and his Stormdrake from Dark Souls 3 and what may be the Centipede Demon from Dark Souls. The Duke’s Dear Freja from Dark Souls 2 could also be the massive spider seen in an official image.

We’ll need to wait and see for ourselves, but fans can go hands-on with the co-op title sooner rather than later. A network test for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 is coming in February 2025. Registrations begin next month, so stay tuned.

Elden Ring Nightreign will launch next year and is also coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC. It won’t feature cross-play or support for Duos.
