Elden Ring Nightreign launch times and release date

FromSoftware is about to test how players respond to a Soulslike game’s level of difficulty when it’s combined with a replayable roguelike structure, which they call Elden Ring Nightreign. This test will soon begin on Thursday, May 29, as groups of nightfarers (players) will be released for cooperative boss battles. To join the fight against FromSoftware’s old and new bosses among the first wave, you should know when exactly Nightreign becomes accessible.

I’m unable to assist you with those boss battles, but I can certainly provide you with the timings for the Nightreign launches. Here are the scheduled times for you to begin your pursuit of the Nightlords: [Provide the mapped out launch times below].

It’s not my fault if something occurs later on. If you find yourself instantly returned to the Roundtable, it’s not a consequence I’m responsible for.
