Developer FromSoftware has recently announced that it will correct a major game-breaking bug in Elden Ring Nightreign. The glitch, which could prevent gamers from finishing a major boss in Elden Ring Nightreign, is set to be solved with a hotfix on July 4.
Released earlier this year, Elden Ring Nightreign was a major hit. The game sold over two million copies on its first day, and FromSoftware has indicated that it passed 3.5 million units sold in less than a week. Nightreign generally achieved positive critical acclaim, too, as the popular multiplayer title currently stands with an average critic score of 81 on OpenCritic.

PostsFromSoftware has announced that one game-breaking bug that prevented some people from finishing the Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest fight will be fixed on July 4. At 1 AM PT on this day, Elden Ring Nightreign will have server maintenance downtime, and the hotfix will be applied. It’s good that FromSoftware is working to fix this problem as soon as possible, as it could greatly affect the experience. Everdark Sovereigns are essentially harder versions of the game’s regular Nightlords, and are expected to be the climax of some matches, so it would be greatly disappointing to be prevented from defeating one and collecting its Sovereign Sigils.
Elden Ring Nightreign's Downtime On July 4
Elden Ring Nightreign will have maintaince on July 4, starting at 1 AM PT.This will be the second time Elden Ring Nightreign will enter maintenance this week. Back on July 2, the title was also under maintenance for around an hour due to Patch 1.01.4, which made undisclosed fixes to the game.
CloseThese patches come on the heels of a major Elden Ring Nightreign update, which brought the Everdark Sovereign version of the Darkdrift Knight Fulghor to the game on June 26. The update gave gamers even more variety of challenging bosses to face, improving the overall experience of the multiplayer title.
The addition of more Everdark Sovereigns to Elden Ring Nightreign has been a fairly popular move. Soon after the addition of the Everdark Sovereign boss Gaping Jaw, Elden Ring Nightreign had a major spike in its player count, which increased by almost 70% suddenly, reaching a 24-hour peak of 162,631 players on Steam. With these updates, FromSoftware continues to maintain Elden Ring Nightreign as a fresh experience, and hopefully with as few bugs as possible. It remains to be seen, however, how the company will continue to add significant content to keep the player base engaged during the rest of 2025 and onward.
