Given the presence of a notice about the presence of third-party DRM protection on the game's Steam page, s interested in the project are concerned that hacking the new cooperative adventure from FromSoftware Elden Ring Nightreign may take a long time. The developers do not use the hated Denuvo, their choice fell on a more consumer-friendly solution - GuardIT from Arxan.
Previously, this company's DRM add-on has already been encountered in projects by various developers and has not demonstrated its protective qualities very successfully. But the absence of Denuvo does not mean unhindered access to the game. The timing and success of hacking can be affected by a huge number of factors, including the suitability of the game itself for work without a network connection.
When Elden Ring Nightreign Hacked
Before drawing any conclusions, it's worth ing the latest t projects between FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco. The first to come to mind is the original Elden Ring, which had no third-party DRM, which is why the game ended up on torrent trackers on the day of release.
When releasing their next game, Armored Core 6, the developers decided to make life difficult for hackers and installed DRM from Arxan. This did not affect the time it took to crack the protection, and it was also leaked on the day of release.
For comparison, you can also look at the table, which presents a list of popular games protected by Arxan, as well as the status and timeframes for their hacking:
| Name of the game | Status | Who hacked | Timing of hacking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto V | ✅ hacked | 3DM | On release day |
| Call of Duty: Black Ops III | ✅ hacked | RELOADED | On release day |
| Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare | ✅ hacked | RELOADED | On release day |
| Battleborn | ✅ hacked | XXRIDDICK.XX | In 129 days |
| State of Decay 2 | ✅ hacked | CODEX | In 18 days |
| Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition | ✅ hacked | CODEX | In 1 day |
| Gears 5 | ✅ hacked | CODEX | In 9 days |
| Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) | ✅ hacked | ONLINEFIX | On release day |
| Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition | ✅ hacked | RUNE | After 1262 days |
| Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon | ✅ hacked | KSENIA & MR.GOLDBERG | On release day |
It would seem that these facts indicate that the protection will soon be byed, but other nuances that may affect the release of the “free” version of the project should also be taken into :
- Nightreign was conceived primarily as a network session project, which is why it loses a lot of its appeal when there is no connection to official servers.
- The game's online test caused mixed feelings among s, and expectations for the project, as well as its popularity, fell sharply.
At least these two factors can significantly negatively affect the interest of hackers in the new project "Fromov". Taking them into , we can conclude that the game will most likely not be hacked.
