will Nightreign make sense in lore?

[Flatrateliner]

i feel like it would be very hard to explain this right? its just a gameplay thing not a lore connected game

Nightreign is it's own thing lorewise, meaning it's entirely separate from Elden Ring. If there even is lore, anyway.

I think so as well. But I have to admit, seeing Nameless King in the trailer a while back made me believe that the King of the Storm mentioned in Elden Ring's lore actually was Nameless King from Ds3. Meaning I briefly believed that Dark Souls and Elden Ring were connected. Until all of that was cleared up in an interview.

Pretty much a spin-off. Unlike SOTE, Nightrein won't have anything to canon story, but it will be set in Elden Ring world.

It is very possible that those worlds are interconnected. The Lands Between is set in the centre of a universe and is surrounded by other worlds, from which the Lands Between can be accessed by gods, other creatures and tarnished. One of those world could be Dark Souls world (was it Londran?). For example, Okina is from the Lands of Reeds (that is suspected to be like feudal Japan, maybe Sekiro?), which is neighbour world.

There were Lordran, Drangelic, and Lothric for Ds1, Ds2, and Ds3 respectively.

There are several characters from older titles which are pulled into the Lands Between, like Nameless King and someone who looks like the Fire Keeper from Ds3, so there clearly is some kind of connection between the games. However, it doesn't connect to Elsen Ring's canon story, but is supposed to be an alternating timeline of sorts, if I recall correctly.
