Nightreign Revamps Elden Ring with New Souls Skins

As players progress through Elden Ring Nightreign's endgame content, they're discovering numerous alternate skins meticulously prepared by FromSoftware as unlockable rewards. While many pay homage to previous Souls titles, some of the more obscure references offer fascinating surprises.

Souls content creator BonfireVN compiled an insightful comparison showcasing how Nightreign's skins connect to their Dark Souls origins. These cosmetic unlocks become available after defeating Nightreign's final boss, offering significant visual transformations for various Nightfarer characters.

These nostalgic throwback skins reference iconic Dark Souls NPCs and armor sets throughout the series. While serving as a loving tribute to FromSoftware's legacy, they also demonstrate how Elden Ring continues evolving the Soulsborne tradition. BonfireVN's analysis reveals particularly interesting design choices and historical details.

The Guardian's Sunlight Knight Outfit offers a clear nod to Dark Souls 1's beloved Solaire, while the Raider's Catarina Outfit directly references Siegmeyer. More subtle designs like the Duchess' Wraith Outfit showcase the evolution of Darkwraith armor across Souls games.

Some unexpected callbacks include the Ironeyes' Sellsword outfit referencing Dark Souls 2's Chancellor Wellager. Beyond obvious picks like Solaire or Artorias representations, deeper cuts like the Recluse's Heretic Sorcerer Outfit homaging Dark Witch Karla provide delightful discoveries.
