Yesterday, producer Yasuhiro Kitao took to social media to touch upon Elden Ring Nightreign’s early gross sales success (2 million units in its first day).
“Nightreign has some peculiar aspects to its game design and is different from our recent titles in various ways,” Kitao stated. “Nonetheless, many of you have bravely jumped into this world, and for that we're immensely grateful.
“As with Demon's Souls or Sekiro, it may be confounding at first, but just like those games, Nightreign offers its own challenges and experiences. Once you overcome the initial hurdle, it'll surely provide a sense of accomplishment that's also its very own.
“We hope you enjoy it.”
So, what may this tweet be about, particularly? Well, Nightreign is still on a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam, with a lot of the damaging sentiment revolving round its brutal solo expertise, its lack of duos co-op, lack of voice chat, and different archaic mechanics. That age-old multiplayer wrestle to search out enough buddies to make up a coordinated three-player group could be very a lot a half of the Elden Ring Nightreign expertise, too. A patch to make solo play easier is due out next week.
As defined in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "Let’s get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn’t for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn’t patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games."
