Elden Ring Nightreign: Cheaters Must Go for True Success

by

At the 2024 Game Awards, the announcement of “Elden Ring: Nightreign” was a real surprise. Although details about this cooperative spin-off are scarce, we do know that it promises a distinctive experience within the world of “Elden Ring.” While “Elden Ring” itself has its own Player versus Player (PvP) mode, “Elden Ring: Nightreign” is set to revolutionize multiplayer dynamics by blending survival and Role-Playing Game (RPG) elements into a single game.

The combination of Elden Ring: Nightreign sparks immense curiosity, yet when considering the original game, multiplayer has posed a slight challenge in one particular aspect. Specifically, Elden Ring’s Player versus Player (PvP) has been marred by an abundance of hackers and cheaters that have persistently disrupted this mode for many gamers. To ensure Nightreign extends the universe of Elden Ring effectively, it is imperative to implement a robust anti-cheat system within the game.

Elden Ring: Nightreign Needs to Assure Players That Cheaters Won’t Be Rampant

Everything Known About Elden Ring: Nightreign, So Far

  • Three-player co-op
  • Players choose between a variety of heroes with specific skills.
  • Players have to survive a three-day and night cycle.
  • Releasing for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S

Regarding Nightreign, although some details have been shared thus far, numerous questions remain unanswered. The concept of a day and night cycle is intriguing, but given the ongoing cheating problems in the Elden Ring community, it’s crucial for the developers of this cooperative spin-off to address any potential concerns promptly. This will help alleviate any doubts among fans and ensure a smooth experience.

Elden Ring’s PvP Can’t Seem to Catch a Break From Cheating

It’s really annoying because Elden Ring already has anti-cheat measures in place, but unfortunately, they don’t seem robust enough. This can make player versus player (PvP) matches both infuriating and unsatisfying for many players. Some users have reported that the Easy Anti-Cheat software intended to keep cheaters at bay can also cause lag issues. On a Reddit thread discussing the risk of encountering cheaters, user Uncleafie69 commented that it’s simple to circumvent the anti-cheat system on PC. While cheaters might not show up in every match, they’re far from uncommon. The persistent hacking in Elden Ring’s PvP mode raises concerns about a potential cooperative game like Nightreign.

Although cheating in Elden Ring’s PvP isn’t as rampant as it was initially, it remains an issue. The grueling gameplay for which FromSoftware is known can leave players breathless, but encountering cheating feels more frustrating than exhilarating.

Nightreign Will Hopefully Fare Better Than Elden Ring’s PvP Mode

Until further details emerge about Nightreign, it’s uncertain how the game manages cheating. It’s probable that FromSoftware will employ Easy Anti-Cheat again, though this hasn’t been officially announced yet. In the near future, some gamers will be invited to participate in the network test for Nightreign. If the test runs smoothly, we can expect more information to surface.

As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the network test for “Elden Ring: Nightreign” from February 14-17. However, there’s a twist – this playtest is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users. The catch? Each session will only last three hours a day. But hey, every minute spent in the world of “Elden Ring: Nightreign” feels like an eternity of excitement!

Given that Nightreign is planned for a 2025 release, FromSoftware is likely to reveal its official launch date in the upcoming months. With Elden Ring’s tremendous success, Nightreign faces significant expectations. If FromSoftware finds an effective method to combat cheaters more successfully, Nightreign stands a better chance of maintaining the same level of longevity as Elden Ring.
