„Finally, a worthy opponent” Elden Ring Nightreign adds a challenge mode and fans are ready for it

by

Today, Bandai Namco unveiled a challenging Expedition mode known as Deep of Night for the game Elden Ring: Nightreign. This mode has been explicitly designed for experienced players who have traversed through the night numerous times. Keep in mind that Nightreign is one of the most demanding multiplayer experiences, and this new mode by legendary developer FromSoftware promises to maintain that reputation. The Deep of Night mode is set to be released two weeks from now, on September 11th, 2025.

Elden Ring Nightreign will introduce “Deep of Night” a new challenge mode

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that despite the developer, who usually excels in single-player experiences, recently introducing a two-player mode in Nightreign, it’s already shaping up to be a significant success. Although we’re still eagerly awaiting crossplay, the excitement is palpable!

The official announcement was made on social media, but Bandai Namco went a step further by providing intriguing details about what we can anticipate from this new Deep of Night mode in a comprehensive blog post. I, for one, can’t wait to dive in and explore the changes together with other players!

In the newly introduced challenge, as reported by Bandai Namco, enemies will be tougher than normal, and you won’t have the option to select a specific Nightlord. Furthermore, changes to the terrain during gameplay won’t be immediately reflected. This mode will also introduce unique items known as “Depth Relics,” exclusive to this challenge. These items will come with extra benefits, but they may also present drawbacks… Essentially, the term “depth” refers to the level of difficulty you’ll encounter in this game mode.

Bandai Namco playfully hints at a challenge near the end of their blog post, suggesting that players attempt to go beyond Depth 3. What’s more, they mention the existence of Depths 4 and 5, which promise an unending battle for those craving even higher levels of excitement. It will be intriguing to discover how these new features unfold in gameplay. However, it leaves some uncertainty about the specific challenges players will face while exploring the depths.

In the comments section of social media, fans playfully retorted to the renowned developer, saying things such as “At last, a worthy adversary” or “Now, we have a challenging Souls game“. However, let’s wait and see how their words hold up against actual gameplay. If it’s that simple, why not accept the challenge mode on your own? Prove yourself with a genuine challenge.
