Speaking to PC Gamer in an interview, director Junya Ishizaki expressed his belief that Nightreign is far from being a live service title. Instead, you won’t have to pay to win, nor will you need to purchase any in-game currency to acquire better loot—this (microtransactions) is pretty much the bread and butter of traditional live service titles, including Fortnite and PUBG.

With Nightreign, we wanted to have a game that felt like a complete package out of the box on the day of purchase, so everything is unlockable, everything is contained with that purchase. It’s not what we’d consider a ‘live service’ game.”
Junya also talked about post-release plans for Nightreign that FromSoftware may have. The team doesn’t have anything specific in mind, other than maintaining the upkeep of the expansion in the immediate future.
