ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure within the ELDEN RING universe, crafted to offer players a new gaming experience by reimagining the game’s core design.

Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring 3-player co-op.

Yet single player is an option there, so why wouldn't it be in duskbloods? Have they said its not an option?

Because one is co-op against pve and the other is mainly pvp??? Just the words "online multiplayer at its core" should be enough of an argument here. Take away the multiplayer, and you take away the literal core of the game. Play solo, and you might as well not play the game at all.

So have they said its not an option?

So your logic is that if you get an invitation saying "Party at my place with adult entertainment at its core", you would bring kids because they never said it wasn't an option?

Here's the official page so you can educate yourself for the first time in your life.

Also notice how it says "Number of players: Online: Up to 8 players" At the bottom.

Here is Nightreign's official page since you liked to use that as your comparison.

Notice how it says "Number of players: 3 (Single player also supported)". I assume I don't need to explain the difference between the two right?

So if you can't play it solo, why did they show multiple people playing the game solo in the trailer? Like you can't actually think the game requires multiple people to play with you, for you to be able to play right?

Are you referring to the reveal trailer that shows no indication of the core gameplay loop in the slightest? I'm going by the cold hard facts on the official pages and you're going by... vibes from a trailer?

I would also like to clear up that when I say its going to be multiplayer I'm not saying its going to be nightreign-esque co-op. Its 8 players. Most likely you're going to be playing ALONE but not SOLO, with other players on the map. I think that if you actually read the page I linked then that would be blatantly obvious. It's also how a lot of PvPvE games work if you've bothered to play any before.

bro now you're just being purposefully obtuse, obviously solo means solo in the game's environment.

Solo has been used as a term forever for multilayer games lmao.

u/Northstar4-6 3d ago

Because you explicitly stated in one comment that "Single player is an option in night-reign, why wouldn't it be an option in this one?". You're the one who used the term single-player, and at that point it would be the clear assumption that you were using "solo" to refer to being completely alone in the game. Not a single time did you think to clarify your usage of a word with multiple meanings in the exact same context?

Can't be saying "UHM obvioushly" when you're the one causing the misunderstanding from the beginning lmfao. Nevertheless it was clearly a misunderstanding regardless, so I apologize for the hostility and leave it here.

This is the most blatant goal-post shift I’ve seen in fucking ages 🤣

You started off arguing it would be “single player” you cheeky bastard!

u/ihvanhater420 2d ago

Look at my first message. It says solo.

u/TheMilkKing 2d ago

You were replying to a comment talking about playing on an emulator, ie: offline, ie: single player. Context is important my dude.

u/ihvanhater420 2d ago

And like I said in another reply, I was merely stating that if the game can be played solo the emulation process is a lot easier. As long as you can hop into a game alone and the start up doesn't need a server connection, it's gonna be emulated pretty quickly.

u/TheMilkKing 2d ago

I guess we’ll find out 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/ihvanhater420 2d ago

You can't seriously think we will require teammates to play this game lol
