FromSoftware announced via X on Tuesday that Elden Ring Nightreign will officially receive a two-player mode “at a later date.” This comes after director Junya Ishizaki admitted the developer “overlooked” a duos mode during development. The lack of two-player co-op has led to some frustration from players. While Ishizaki had said the studio had been considering implementing duo support, players now have confirmation (though no set timeframe). It’ll be a...

The golden age of animation reveled in absurdity. In the heyday of the Looney Tunes, Daffy Duck might get squashed and stretched, flattened like a pancake, and careen off a cliff all in the span of a minute. It’s an energy that’s surprisingly hard to come by in modern video games. Unless you’re loading up Earthworm Jim on a Sega Genesis Mini or dialing the nostalgia way back with Cuphead, the...

Death comes for everyone in Elden Ring Nightreign. FromSofware’s experimental combination of Fortnite meets roguelike is built on a foundation that’s already notoriously difficult, so you can expect to see ‘YOU DIED’ often. Some deaths are worse than others, though. Every time you begin an expedition in Nightreign, your trio begins at level 1. You then have to quickly defeat mobs, find gear, and level up before the storm closes...

IO Interactive has finally announced that its long-awaited James Bond game, 007 First Light, will receive a full reveal “this week.” The developer, known for its work on Hitman, also shared mysterious art for the forthcoming game with a silhouette of what appears to be our newly designed James Bond. An official press release for the announcement stated that “the reveal will give a world premiere look at 007 First...

After two solid hours of smooth Elden Ring Nightreign co-op with my friends on Discord, I confidently told them the online complaints floating around were overblown. That’s when it all fell apart. Matchmaking suddenly started canceling on us — repeatedly — for over 15 minutes. We disbanded, re-formed, switched lobby leaders, and even resorted to FromSoftware’s clunky password system to make matchmaking work. We’d lost all momentum by the time...

It’s that time of the year again when EA Sports begins rolling out its annual sports simulators, with the company issuing a trailer for EA Sports College Football 26 on Thursday. The reveal showed off an admittedly hype video soundtracked by Metallica’s classic “Enter Sandman,” with various programs performing historic pre-game rituals. Sure, College Football 26′s graphics look more real, the atmosphere feels big, and I’m sure I’ll get a...

The Recluse makes a bunch of cocktails in Elden Ring’s Nightreign, but not the type you’d like to drink. She transforms the typical playstyle of a Soulslike spellcaster and flips it on its head by allowing you access to 14 extra spells through her character skill, Magic Cocktail. Recluse is the perfect character for you if you want to dedicate many hours to mastering a character. In comparison to the...
