ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a game released in May 2025, with a pop-up store at Isetan Shinjuku planned for late September 2025 and a tabletop role-playing game adaptation released on June 19, 2026.
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN, the action game from FromSoftware, launched in May 2025. Its first financial quarter afterward saw KADOKAWA's game segment decline compared to the same period the previous year, when the game contributed significantly to results. Publishing and IP creation grew in that quarter, and FromSoftware has the ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition and The Duskbloods scheduled from the second quarter onward.
In June 2026, a tabletop role-playing game adaptation arrived, developed by Group SNE's Hironori Kato. The TRPG supports up to four players, one more than the video game's three-player cap, with each player taking the role of a night-crosser surviving three days in Limveld before facing the Night King. The system uses 11 playing cards for the map, places random events, enemies, merchants, and graces on each card, and streamlines combat so players roll stamina dice to pay costs for weapons, skills, or magic. Damage applies to a single enemy unit per attack. The base game includes content from the DLC The Forsaken Hollows, adding the Undertaker and Scholar as playable characters. Leveling unlocks skills at level 2 and arts at level 3, with relic effects granting random bonuses from level 4 onward. A high-difficulty Deep Night mode offers up to five depths with red enemies and customizable parameters.
Kato said he prioritized reproducing the original's exploration feel and speed, cutting elements until the game could be completed in roughly six hours for first-time players and three to four hours for experienced ones. In September 2026, the merchandising push continues with a pop-up store at Isetan Shinjuku, running from September 30 to October 5 as part of the TOKYO ISSUE event, offering advance-sale goods and novelties with the full lineup announced later. Entry restrictions and numbered tickets are planned for crowd control.
