During Red Bull's high-profile Lancation gaming event, FromSoftware shocked fans with the first live gameplay reveal of Elden Ring Nightreign's terrifying new boss - Caligo, Miasma of Night. This icebound dragon serves as one of the flagship encounters in the upcoming co-op focused spin-off, set to launch May 30, 2025.

Nightreign transforms the original game's Limgrave into the procedurally generated Limveld, where teams of players will face remixed challenges and deadly new foes. The Game Awards 2024 surprise announcement has Soulslike enthusiasts eagerly anticipating its fresh take on Elden Ring's punishing combat.

Following the monumental success of 2022's Elden Ring and its Shadow of the Erdtree expansion (a 2024 Game of the Year contender), Nightreign introduces the brutal new Executor class - combining devastating attacks with traditional swordplay. This leaked class joins existing Nightfarer options including Guardian and Raider.

The Caligo Showdown: Frost and Fury

Fextralife's 10-hour livestream during Lancation featured nine content creators divided into teams battling through Nightreign's challenges, culminating in the frost dragon encounter. Team Nordic emerged victorious against Caligo on their first attempt, showcasing the boss' deadly tail swipes and the game's innovative environmental hazard system.

Community reaction has been electric, with players praising Caligo's punishing difficulty and epic musical score. The dragon joins an already impressive roster of returning bosses including The Nameless King and Centipede Demon.
