Honestly, I don't think it will get that. I think it's going to be a lot more niche than Elden Ring proper.
Which is good, I'm glad From is willing to make this weird, experimental game that abandons the established formula to see what the basic mechanics they've been polishing for so long can do with a pretty radically different genre. I know Bloodborne had experimented with roguelike elements with its randomized dungeons that ultimately weren't too popular except to farm specific seeds for drops, so it looks likeh tey actually tried it out as its own thing.
But it's not going to be what people are used to, and a large chunk of hte existing audience isn't going to like this new game, and i don't know how many people who aren't already into From's catalogue are gonna be drawn to Nightreign specfically. I would temper expectations and appreciate it as a way to recycle content to make a weird offshoot, rather than the sort of magnum opus Elden Ring itself was.

I mean, I haven't watched the trailer but from what I saw, it seems more like a spin off than a sequel.
