I have NO idea what this is. Geoff said on-stage it's a co-op action adventure game, so this doesn't seem like a sequel, but more like a standalone DLC? This re-uses a lot of enemies and assets from the original, and even Nameless King from DS3 is here.

EDIT: It's a co-op roguelike that can be played singleplayer. Very weird! https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-nightreign-we-played-it

Seems pretty interesting! Not sure how I'll feel about a roguelike take on a souls game but if the price is right I'll definitely get it.

Also looks like the Nameless King and the firekeeper (in a cloak) in the trailer! Could be cool if it's all integrated into the story nicely and not just a lazy way to fill things out

I went full Leo pointing meme when Nameless King showed up. Always loved that fight.

Honestly with the difficult being balanced right I think a roguelike dark souls could be really fun

I guess I'm worried it will lose some depth but to be fair I have no reason to assume that. Maybe the movement and new combat mechanics will give it more of a roguelike feel too, seems faster paced
