Elden Ring Nightreign Preorder & Deluxe Edition Rewards
Elden Ring Nightreign Preorder Rewards
Players who purchaseElden Ring Nightreignbefore its release date on May 20, 2025 will receive a special reward. Whether you get the standard edition or the deluxe edition, if you preorderNightreign, you will get the “It’s Raining!” gesture. This gesture sees your Nightfarer kneel down and open their arms as if to welcome the incoming Night.
This gesture is not unique toNightreignpreorders, you just get access to it earlier than normal. The “Let It Rain” gesture can be learned without preordering the game.
All Nightreign Deluxe Edition Rewards
The Deluxe Edition ofElden Ring Nightreignis $54.99, about a $15 increase over the standard edition of the game. For that, you will get access to a host of special rewards, including access to anas-of-yet-unannouncedNightreignDLC. Specifically, theElden Ring NightreignDeluxe Edition contents include:
The Digital Artbook and Soundtrack are both great for hardcore fans ofElden Ring, but the additional DLC is arguably the highlight of the Deluxe Edition rewards. Players who choose to purchase this special edition will be able to access theNightreignDLC when it launches, though FromSoftware has not yet revealed much information about this expansion aside from the fact that it will include new characters and bosses.
Elden Ring Nightreign Collector’s Edition Rewards
TheNightreign Collector’s Editioncomes with several exclusive physical rewards, but it’s a bit pricey at $199.99. However, for this, you will get collectible items that are exclusive to this edition of the game. In addition to the rewards of the Deluxe Edition, you will also receive:
The Collector’s Edition ofNightreignis only available for purchase directly from Bandai Namco.
Is Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition Worth It?
If you are a hardcoreElden Ringand FromSoftware fan, theNightreignDeluxe Edition rewards seem quite reasonably priced for everything you get. For longtime fans, it can be exciting to look through theNightreignDigital Artbook and see how the game’s artistic direction developed alongside theoriginal foundationsElden Ringlaid. But this, and the digital soundtrack, might not be very enticing for a player who wants concrete in-game rewards from their Deluxe Edition purchase.
TheNightreignDeluxe Edition contents also include access to the game’s planned DLC when it launches on an unannounced date. Even if you never touch the Artbook or Soundtrack, $15 to guarantee that you’ll have access to these new playable characters and bosses is not too bad, though we don’t know the price or specifics of the DLC yet.
Ultimately, if you’re a bigElden Ringfan and are really excited to playNightreign, theNightreignDeluxe Edition is worth the $15 over the standard edition. However, if you don’t think you will check out the Digital Artbook, Soundtrack, or are iffy on whether you will stick with the game long enough to experience its DLC, it may be better to wait. If you end up enjoying the game, you can always upgrade to the Deluxe Edition later on, or purchase the DLC separately when it releases.
