FromSoftware created a cooperative spin-off called Elden Ring: Nightreign, which changes the series' formula completely. Players control eight different warriors called Nightfarers who fight against evil Nightlords. The game takes place on Limveld, which resembles the original Elden Ring world but operates in a distinctly different manner. Each adventure lasts three days with strict time limits that force players to move quickly. Teams of up to three people work together to survive and defeat powerful enemies.
The fast pace makes Nightreign feel nothing like traditional Souls games that encourage slow exploration. Characters level up automatically, and weapons come with special abilities that create many different fighting styles...

Intel added four new graphics cards to the Mesa driver software for Linux computers. The company plans to release more gaming and professional graphics processors soon. Researcher LasseKrkkinen discovered these additions after examining recent driver updates. Intel last launched Arc B580 and B570 graphics cards in late 2024.

Intel probably wants to keep details about these new models secret. Two of these identification numbers likely belong to the recently announced...
