Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.2 release date – when your solo games will get a lot easierElden Ring Nightreign is up for a new update in the near future, and here's when you can expect the

patch to arrive on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.GamingMirror Gaming14:30, 04 Jun 2025A new patch is coming for Elden Ring Nightreign that is set to allow players an easier

chance to play a solo game.(Image: FromSoftware) Elden Ring Nightreign is gearing up for another update, which aims to make the experience more balanced for players seeking a genuinely

challenging solo adventure.

Although it may have raised eyebrows upon its initial reveal, at this point, it's likely that Elden Ring Nightreign will become an integral part of the game's overall experience. While it's

still unlikely that friends will respond with "you mean the three-player roguelike?" when asked if they've played Elden Ring – especially with the upcoming Alex Garland-directed movie –

FromSoftware has undoubtedly crafted an experience that caters to the tastes of Soulslike enthusiasts, albeit in a niche and highly specific way.

‌ However, the game is far from perfect. Players have expressed significant frustration with Elden Ring Nightreign's tendency to push them towards three-player gameplay, regardless of

whether they have enough friends playing or not.

‌ The alternative – an extremely difficult solo run – doesn't offer much respite. The game excels when its narrow requirements are met, but getting to that point can be a struggle for some

long-time FromSoftware fans, particularly due to the complexities surrounding Nightreign's crossplay and cross-gen features.

The new Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.2 release date is set to bring a host of changes aimed at making the game more accessible and less challenging for players. Following the successful

implementation of patch 1.01.1, which ensured game stability, the focus has now shifted towards simplifying solo play. The official Elden Ring Twitter account announced that solo players can

anticipate automatic one-time revivals with night bosses and an increase in earned runes to make gameplay less punishing.

But when exactly is the Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.2 due to be released? Here's what you need to know.

commencing Monday, June 2. However, based on previous Elden Ring patch notes and recent downtimes, we can make an educated guess about the update's release.

It's likely that the Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.2 release date will be Thursday, June 5 at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST. This estimation is based on the typical release pattern of Elden

Ring patches, which usually land on Thursdays, as was the case with patch 1.16 (via Twitter) and patch 1.13.2 (via Twitter), and the start time of Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.01.1, as

revealed in a recent tweet.

The release date for the Elden Ring Nightreign patch 1.2 might be sooner than expected, as Elden Ring usually releases its updates between Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, given the recent

arrival of patch 1.01.1, it's difficult to foresee another period of downtime so soon. Regardless, for solo players, the wait will undoubtedly be worthwhile. A fair challenge for the

toughest players could already be on the horizon.
