With the arrival of Elden Ring Nightreign, the fans are facing the dilemma of whether or not they must spend on the game’s Deluxe Edition. With the edition promising exclusive perks, it’s priced higher than the standard version of the game. But does the exclusivity justify the price tag? Here is what’s included in it and whether or not the content of the edition would truly enhance the experience.
What comes with the Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition?
Elden Ring Nightreign - Standard vs Deluxe Edition Which Edition Should you Buy?
The Deluxe Edition of the game, priced at $54.99, bundles the base game with the post-launch DLCs, mini soundtrack, and the digital artbook. The pre-orders even include the “It’s Raining” gesture, the emote for the in-game flair. Despite being vague in scope, the DLCs are expected to introduce the new bosses and the playable characters. It aligns with the tradition of expansive expansions by FromSoftware.
For the collectors, the soundtrack and artbook offer a deeper level of immersion in the dark fantasy world of Nightreign. While these are not important for the gameplay, they do cater to the fans who are invested in the storytelling and game design. The real draw of Elden Ring Nightreign Deluxe Edition remains its DLC access, which could save money in the long term if the expansions after the post-launch remain priced separately.
If you are, though, just a casual player, you might find the game’s $39.99 Standard Edition sufficient. It is also a safer bet if you are not sure about the multiplayer focus of the game, departing from the solo-heavy design of Elden Ring. The core experience either way will remain intact. The DLC can be purchased later on if it delivers compelling content.
Is the upgrade worth it?
The worth of Deluxe Edition hinges on the engagement of players with the universe of Elden Ring. If you are someone who relishes dissecting concept art or are craving every single gameplay shred, it’s a smart investment. For the others, Standard Edition will deliver similar brutal combat and competitive thrills without any extras.
Ultimately, the replayable structure of Elden Ring Nightreign— quicker sessions and randomized maps means the base game will offer hours of content alone. Until and unless the collectibles or DLCs are non-negotiable, saving $15 will be a wise move. Just prepare to die in style as you enjoy the adventures of the Nightreign.
