Elden Ring Nightreign's evil Deep Of Night mode gets a release date, but some people are already playing it
Elden Ring Nightreign will get a new rock-hard Expedition mode called Deep of Night on 11th September. "Rock-hard" is a cliché worn to uselessness, of course: to be more specific, this is at least tungsten-carbide-hard, possibly even as hard as stishovite, though the exact degree of toughness is variable.
It's variable because Deep of Night gets statistically harder, the more you win, with a difficulty rating or "depth" that fluctuates based on wins and losses. Enemies are tougher than usual by default, and you can't specify which Nightlord you're hunting, so be prepared for nasty surprises. There are new special Depth Relics, exclusive to this mode, which sadistically bundle together additional buffs and debuffs.
