Elden Ring Nightreign's Launch Sparks Mixed Reviews and Record Player Surge

Elden Ring Nightreign experienced a massive Steam launch with over 300,000 concurrent players, but received mixed reviews mainly due to its lack of a two-player co-op mode and voice chat, which frustrated many players expecting a more flexible multiplayer experience. The developers acknowledged the oversight and are considering future updates to add duo options, but currently, the game is centered around solo and three-player co-op gameplay.
