Play Elden Ring: Nightreign together with friends in 2025
elden ring nightreign announcement beabppwiskoqaeftbhan

Elden Ring: Nightreign looks like the already-wild world of The Lands Between mashed up with Monster Hunter for a bit of casual kaiju-slaying, and it looks absolutely amazing. Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Nightreign came as a surprise announcement that sent fans into a fervor as soon as everyone realized what it was: a truly multiplayer Elden Ring.

The three-minute-long cinematic trailer depicted magical combat, huge weapons, and even bigger monsters. Some of the foes are so fearsome that you won't be able to defeat them alone; instead, band together with friends to take on waves of enemies and gargantuan beasts. But the game isn't just fighting huge creatures.
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN – REVEAL GAMEPLAY TRAILER
The trailer shows a variety of weapons including daggers, staves, and almost comically large bows. Vast landscapes demand you to explore to uncover their secrets, with a variety of traversal options that include flying mounts to help scale the gothic ruins littered throughout the land.

Steel Hunters is the next game from the studio behind World of Tanks
A screenshot of two players in Steel Hunters.

Steel Hunters is a new extraction shooter from the developers of World of Tanks. It creates an interesting blend of extraction shooter objectives with tactical third-person action into a unique free-to-play multiplayer game focusing on teams of two. Just announced at The Game Awards 2024, Steel Hunters will have a 10-day closed beta test that players can sign up for now to get into the action.

Steel Hunters is entirely designed around being a duos game. Each Hunter has a unique set of abilities similar to that of a hero shooter that complement each other. The team uses the term "duo symbiosis" to describe one of their guiding philosophies in game design. It's life or death on the battlefield, and every moment counts. As teams land on the map, they'll begin scavenging for stat points, buffs, and other key objectives and AI-controlled enemies. They'll need to play smart and slow, working together to know when to engage an enemy team or when to take the scenic route to avoid conflict.
