Sony is reportedly in advanced discussions to acquire Kadokawa Corporation, the parent company of FromSoftware, known for its globally acclaimed titles such as Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. With Elden Ring Nightreign less than a month from launch on May 30, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have dropped a new overview trailer that not only showcases the game’s ever-evolving Limveld battleground and three-player Nightfarer co-op but also reveals a wealth of fan-service cosmetics lifted straight from the Dark Souls universe. But perhaps the hottest reveal is the Small Jar Bazaar in the safe haven of Roundtable Hold, where players can trade the run-earned currency Murk for fully modeled armor sets worn by iconic Dark Souls NPCs. Key costumes include the sun-soaked mail of Solaire of Astoria, the stoic knight Faraam from Dark Souls II, and the grim attire of Ringfinger Leonhard from Dark Souls III. According to interviews at last month’s Game Awards, the dev team drew inspiration from community-run mods and Soulsborne co-op sessions to craft seamless matchmaking and progression—ensuring an engaging group adventure whether you’re streaming on PC, PS4/PS5, or Xbox One/Series X|S. On Twitter and Reddit, many applauded the respectful treatment of Dark Souls aesthetics, noting that unlocking the Solaire set feels like a dream come true for series purists.
