Elden Ring’s Nightreign Duo Expeditions Launch This Week with Anticipated Quality-of-Life Updates

Alright, let’s dive into the chaos.

—

Okay, so FromSoftware finally let the cat out of the bag about Duo Expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign. Can you believe it? Fancy name for just buddying up with one friend to play. Before this, you could only jump in with two other folks, making it a trio affair. Why did it take this long for the twosies to happen? Beats me. Maybe they lost the memo under a pile of Relics. Side note: their office must look like a Relics treasure chest exploded.

Anyway, no wait—I’m getting ahead of myself. The big update rolls out alongside patch 1.02 this Wednesday, July 30. Duo Expeditions is the headliner. But don’t think that’s all! FromSoftware teased us with some quality of life tweaks. Relic filtering options are getting an overhaul, so maybe, just maybe, you won’t have to scroll through your inventory like it’s the never-ending story.

Oh, and by the way, these tweaks couldn’t come at a better time since Nightreign’s hit a wildly impressive 5 million units sold. Isn’t that something?

Now for the timing that’s sweeter than a candy apple—it all drops one day before the next Everdark Sovereign cycle. That means buffed-up versions of Nightlords Tricephalos, Augur, and, what was it? Oh, right, Equilibrious Beast, and Fissure in the Fog are popping up.

And let’s not forget, in recent weeks, Everdark Sovereign’s had its claws into Nightlord bosses like Gaping Jaws, Darkdrift Knight, and Sentient Pest. If you’ve missed it all, we’ve got a guide floating around somewhere about map events and all the goodies you can get. Seriously, check it. Or don’t. Up to you.
