What time does Elden Ring Nightreign release? Release date timer

Elden Ring Nightreign is just days away from launching on PC and consoles, and it’s already shaping up to be another hit from FromSoftware. While solo play is available, Nightreign is primarily a multiplayer-focused experience built around a roguelike PvE structure. So, when can you jump into the action?

Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t have a fixed global release time, which means some regions and platforms will gain access a bit earlier than others. It’s a little confusing, so here are the release times for Nightreign in different regions, along with a countdown timer marking the first region to go live.

Elden Ring Nightreign release date timer

Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 29 or May 30, 2025, depending on your region. PC players in the PDT time zone, along with a few more, will be the first to gain access, followed by console users. The timers below reflect the launch time for PDT, CDT, EDT, COT, and BRT.

Yes, Elden Ring Nightreign will be available to pre-load 48 hours before its release on all platforms, including Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.

Does Elden Ring Nightreign have a pre-order bonus?

If you still haven’t pre-ordered Nightreign, you can obtain the “It’s Raining” bonus gesture from the get-go by pre-ordering the title. Though the same gesture can be obtained in-game as well.

Elden Ring Nightreign is one of the most exciting releases of the year, and I hope that FromSoftware manages to knock it out of the park.
