Hello, Nightfarers! If you are eagerly waiting for Elden Ring Nightreign, which I know, most of you are, you must know about its exact release date and unlock time for different regions, system requirements, and such details. That is what this guide is about.
As you may already know, Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone game set in the Elden Ring universe, with a new reimagined core design.
Based on my time with the game’s network test, I can say that it is still Elden Ring, but with a more fast-paced combat experience with new and nuanced bosses set in a battle royale-like arena called Limveld with a ring that closes too fast, I hope they fixed that.
That being said, here’s my guide covering every detail you need about Elden Ring Nightreign’s release.
Elden Ring Nightreign release date and time for all regions
Elden Ring Nightreign will officially be released on Friday, May 30, 2025, on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X | S, and Xbox One platforms.
While the release time for the game has not yet been shared by Bandai Namco, it should follow the same release timing as Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
For players who don’t know, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was released at 9 pm PDT on consoles (Midnight launch for other regions.) and 3 pm PDT on PC.
So, if Bandai Namco follows the same trend, we will see Elden Ring Nightreign release on May 30, 2025, at midnight (except in the US, which should be 9 pm PDT) on console and 3 pm PDT on PC
If there are any changes to the release time, I will update this section.
