There’s even more Xbox games launching this week, with FromSoftware’s Elden Ring Nightreign sure to garner much of the attention.
This new title from the storied developer takes the Elden Ring co-op gameplay formula and builds an entire experience around it, tasking players with teaming up and fighting enemies and bosses across a shrinking map.
Nightreign eschews classes for prebuilt character archetypes, while some of the foes are pulled from other FromSoftware games, including entries in the Dark Souls series.
If you missed them before, be sure to check out all the Xbox games that launched last week, which includes Capcom’s Onimusha 2 remaster. Now, here’s everything coming to the Xbox store next week:
