Developer FromSoftware has announced the return of a few Everdark Sovereigns to Elden Ring Nightreign over the next few weeks of July. Since their arrival, Everdark Sovereigns have been a popular addition to Elden Ring Nightreign, and gamers who missed previous opportunities to challenge one of these hard bosses will have more chances to fight them for a limited time.

Added in Update 1.01.3, Everdark Sovereigns are the hardest bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign. While the base game already has the usual eight Nightlords, which are far from easy, the Everdark Sovereigns are harder versions of these Nightlords, which gain new abilities and attacks. Sometimes, they even have more forms, making them a novel challenge for experienced players. These bosses can’t be fought all the time, though, and generally are only available for a week as special expeditions.

Now, FromSoftware has announced the schedule for the return of some Everdark Sovereigns. From July 10 to 17, gamers will be able to face Gaping Jaw and Darkdrift Knight, followed by Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight from July 17 to 24, and finally Gaping Jaw and Sentient Pest to finish the month from July 24 to 31. The developers have also hinted that Everdark Sovereigns Tricephalos, Augur, Equilibrious Beast, and Fissure in the Fog will be the next additions, but gamers will have to wait, as the release dates for their arrival will be announced at a later time.

  • July 10 to July 17: Gaping Jaw & Darkdrift Knight
  • July 17 to July 24: Sentient Pest, Darkdrift Knight
  • July 24 to July 31: Gaping Jaw, Sentient Pest

Everdark Sovereigns have been very popular challenges in Elden Ring Nightreign recently, with many taking to social media to share their strategies and victories. Soon after Gaping Jaw was added as the first Everdark Sovereign, Elden Ring Nightreign had a 69% player count spike on Steam.

Overall, Elden Ring Nightreign has been a huge hit. The title managed to sell over 2 million copies in a single day, and reports indicate that it sold more than 3.5 million units in less than a week after launch. Aside from being a commercial hit, Elden Ring Nightreign also gained positive reviews, with most critics praising the title's replayability and the well-made design of its bosses.

In the most recent Elden Ring Nightreign updates, FromSoftware has fixed some irritating bugs and glitches, while also keeping the rotation of Everdark Sovereigns running. Hopefully, the game will continue to get meaningful content over the years, offering a fresh experience for gamers who loved the original Elden Ring and want to enjoy more of its combat with the new multiplayer entry in the franchise.
