Elden Ring Nightreign is getting an official strategy guide, and preorders are now live on Amazon. It's being published by Future Press, the team behind the acclaimed guides for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, and the Bloodborne Anniversary Edition.
The Elden Ring: Nightreign Official Strategy Guide launches on September 30, 2025, in the US for $44.99, while UK buyers will get it a month earlier on August 28 for £34.99.
This premium hardcover companion covers everything from detailed Nightfarer class breakdowns and full system explainers to expedition maps, a complete bestiary, and deep item and build-crafting analysis. It also features high-quality artwork, lore entries, and collectible art prints, making it as much a collector's piece as it is a gameplay resource.
These guides often sell out quickly and have been known to appreciate in value over time, so securing a copy early may be wise. Amazon’s preorder price guarantee also ensures you’ll pay the lowest price between now and launch, and you won’t be charged until it ships.
According to Amazon’s official description, the guide “delves deep into the enigmatic world of Nightreign, offering unparalleled insights into its dynamic mechanics,” and aims to help players “strike a delicate balance between careful teamwork and gaining synergistic power as quickly as possible.”
In other news, patch 1.01.3 for Elden Ring Nightreign went live yesterday, and at first glance, it looked like a routine update, just bug fixes and minor quality-of-life tweaks.
But then, quietly, something new appeared in the Expeditions menu: a Gaping Jaw undertaking titled Everdark Sovereign. It didn’t take long for the community to realize what had happened, FromSoftware had stealth-dropped the game’s promised enhanced bosses, with no announcement or fanfare.
We’ve also got plenty of Nightreign tips and tricks to help you take down all the eight Nightlord Bosses, and if you’re wondering how to unlock the two locked Nightfarer Classes, check out How to Unlock the Revenant and How to Unlock the Duchess, plus How to Change Characters.
