FromSoftware has announced upcoming adjustments for Elden Ring Nightreign’s Deep of Night mode. The update will temporarily fix the issue preventing Depth level progression after victories, ensuring player rankings advance as intended.
Alongside this fix, quality of life improvements will make progression more balanced. These include a new voluntary rank decrease option, rank demotion protection at higher Depth levels, safeguards for low-level players during mixed expeditions, and improved Steam session stability during server outages.
Full Patch Notes:
- Fixed issue preventing Depth level ranking from increasing after victories in Deep of Night mode
- Added option to voluntarily decrease Depth ranking by one level
- Introduced rank demotion protection:
- Depth level 3: 1 defeat protected
- Depth levels 4 & 5: 2 defeats protected
- Applies again if players return to these levels after demotion
- Depth level 1 players matched with higher-level players in Depth level 2+ expeditions will not lose points on defeat
- Steam players can continue ongoing sessions even if disconnected due to Steam server maintenance or outages
