Elden Ring: The Deep of Night Officially Announced

UPDATE 15:08 - FromSoftware has revealed the trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign: The Deep of Night.

"The light of your triumphs has only deepened the shadows. Face the Night's horrors, reborn in incandescent rage," reads the teaser for the update, which is launching for the game tomorrow.

Check out the trailer for the free update tomorrow.

ORIGINAL STORY - Elden Ring developer FromSoftware has announced The Deep of Night, a new mission for Elden Ring Nightreign launching soon.

The Deep of Night is a new high-difficulty mission for Elden Ring Nightreign that will be appearing in the game in the near future.

While we don't have a lot of information on the new mode yet, a trailer for The Deep of Night will be airing at 11PM JST, which is roughly in around 3 hours’ time.

“Today, September 10 (Wed) at 2300 a roughly 4-minute trailer the high-difficulty mission mode ‘Deep Night’ will be on FromSoftware's official YouTube channel,” writes the developer on X (formerly Twitter).

When the trailer airs, we’ll probably get a good idea of when to expect the new mission to go live inside the game.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a multiplayer sequel to 2022's Elden Ring, which sees teams of up to three players collaborate over several in-game days to defeat a series of enemies and bosses.

Consider it to be FromSoftware's interpretation of battle royale games. There isn't a PvP element, but there is a shrinking playable arena and a roguelike element in the randomised enemies and items.

Our own Sam Cawley called it: "not perfect, and it nowhere near has the level of polish that Elden Ring did, but you can tell it’s not really trying to be what that game was. It’s a different animal entirely and I can admire FromSoftware for trying something new while still holding onto what’s worked for it in the past."

It's shouldn't necessarily be considered a true Elden Ring sequel, but it is a good time if you're a big FromSoftware fan who wants to try something a little different this time.

The developer has supported the game since its release in May with a steady stream of new content, which includes new missions, bosses, and updated game modes.

It's expected that The Deep of Night will also be the start of a new mode for the game, though we're still unclear as to what that exactly is.

Considering that FromSoftware is calling it a "high-difficulty mission mode", I would expect that it's going to be pretty tough to clear. I guess we'll know more when the trailer airs in around 3 hours.

But that isn't a huge surprise for Elden Ring fans, who have struggled with the game's brutal bosses ever since the first game released three years ago.
