Elden Ring Nightreign Launch Trailer Highlights Evanescence

Alright, let’s dive into this with a chill vibe. So, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco just dropped this trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign. But here’s the kicker – it’s got Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” blaring alongside some wild boss battles. Seriously, if you’re into soulslike games and grew up in the early 2000s, this is like a nostalgia punch to the gut. I mean, who thought mixing those two was an option? But it’s genius.

Anyway – no, wait, where was I? Oh right, the game! It’s like a co-op spin-off from Elden Ring’s 2022 hit, and people were, like, “Whaaat?” at The Game Awards 2024. Surprise of the year, I tell ya. The game’s coming out May 30, but… plot twist! There’s that New Zealand Xbox trick. You didn’t hear it from me, but you can, you know, time travel a bit with that.

The game’s all about single-player vibes or teaming up with your buddies. You’ll be duking it out with bosses in Limveld – kind of a fancy, unexpected twist on Limgrave. And the trailer just dropped, trying to hype everyone up. Especially us millennials who can’t say no to a bit of nu metal. That’s a thing still, right?

So you had some intense battles in the trailer, with possibly – or actually – some powerful ice dragon deal called Caligo Miasma of Night. And just when your allies bite the dust, cue Evanescence. I kid you not – someone in marketing was probably a massive anime music video nerd. Respect.

People seem to be digging the vibes the trailer throws. There’s chatter about how whoever picked the music might just be a legend. And, fun fact, Evanescence also did something for the Devil May Cry anime series. Feels like we’re all living in some sweaty basement, blasting these tunes on repeat again.

Anyway, first reviews, they’re looking solid. Like a 78 on Metacritic, which in nerdy numbers means “pretty darn good.” Multiplayer’s clicking with folks, although there’s chatter about some wonky traversal – whatever that means. Maybe I just sort of lost track there.

And there you have it, all wrapped up in some chaotic enthusiasm. It’s not perfect, but heck, it’s a messy kind of awesome.
