Summary

  • FromSoftware has revealed the PC system requirements for Elden Ring Nightreign.
  • Raider is the latest class to be revealed, featuring unique abilities like Retaliate and Totem Stela.
  • Two rumored classes, Executor and Revenant, may bring unique playstyles to Elden Ring Nightreign.

Elden Ring Nightreign gives PC players a first look at the system requirements they'll need to meet in order to play FromSoftware's latest action RPG. For those looking to jump into Elden Ring Nightreign on other platforms, the game will also be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30.

So far, six classes have been announced, with the Raider being Elden Ring Nightreign's most recent reveal. The trailer for the class went over some of the seemingly Viking-inspired class' abilities, like Retaliate, which is a punch capable of staggering enemies both big and small. Raider also has a passive ability that stops him from being knocked down while using Retaliate, which could turn out to be very useful. The class also has the ultimate ability, Totem Stela, which summons a large tombstone that boosts nearby allies and can be used as a platform.

Due to its new approach, Elden Ring Nightreign has had to jettison an iconic Souls feature that should return bigger and better than ever.

In a recent post on Twitter, FromSoftware revealed the system requirements for those looking to play Elden Ring Nightreign on PC when it launches on May 30. Many fans seem to feel the requirements are reasonable, in part because the game is designed to work on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well. This means its minimum requirements are more in line with the previous generation of hardware than the current one. All PC players will need to have at least 30GB of storage and DirectX12. Elden Ring Nightreign suffered from some difficulties during its network test, but many fans are hopeful that FromSoftware will work out the hiccups by the time the game releases.

Elden Rings Nightreign's final two classes may have been leaked, and they could be named Executor and Revenant. The Executor appears to wield a sword that can be imbued with holy energy in one hand. It's also rumored that the class could feature a parry system similar to the game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Meanwhile, the Revenant is rumored to be the most unusual class in the game, as it uses an instrument. Very little is known about the Revenant, but FromSoftware will likely share more information about it in the near future.

Some gamers have expressed disappointment that Elden Ring Nightreign won't be on Nintendo Switch 2 at launch. Several fans have theorized that it could be because Nintendo doesn't want it to compete with The Duskbloods, which will be coming to the platform as an exclusive in 2026. However, with Elden Ring coming to Nintendo Switch 2, it's always possible that Nightreign could be announced at a later date. With two more classes to be officially revealed and the game coming on May 30, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Elden Ring Nightreign.
