FromSoftware's roguelike spin-off Elden Ring Nightreign is making the jump to pen and paper. Group SNE, the Japanese studio that turned Dark Souls and Elden Ring into tabletop RPGs, is releasing an Elden Ring Nightreign TRPG on 19 June 2026, and it carries the same brutal three-night structure as the video game.

Find events near youIn the game, one to four players (three is the sweet spot) take the role of Nightfarers, dropping into the open region of Limveld and trying to survive three in-game days. Each night ramps up the danger until a towering Night Lord turns up for the final showdown. True to its source, it leans into roguelike resets, with your level and gear wiped at the start of each new run so no two ventures play the same. A harder "Deep Night" mode is promised in later updates.
The book comes from designer Hironori Kato, who also wrote Group SNE's Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Armored Core VI adaptations, with cover art by Jun Suemi. It is published in Japan under KADOKAWA's Fujimi Dragon Book line.

The English-language Dark Souls RPG and Elden Ring board game we did get came from a different publisher, Steamforged Games, so an official Nightreign translation is far from guaranteed.
Still, it is a tempting idea, capturing that tense co-op survival loop in a form you control entirely at the table. If you fancy the wider Soulslike-on-cardboard scene, there is plenty already in English to gather a group around.
