What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers co-op gameplay for squads of up to three players.

The trailer showcases new weapons, movement mechanics, and a particularly noteworthy boss. The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan notes a striking resemblance to the Nameless King from Dark Souls III. Given the co-op nature of Nightreign, this boss promises a challenging encounter.
