Elden Ring Nightreign Complete Controls
It's called Surge Sprint, not regular Sprint.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a standalone spin-off title with a multiplayer hook set in the world of From Software’s juggernaut title, Elden Ring. Unlike Elden Ring, however, plenty of new mechanics are introduced in Nightreign that dramatically change the combat and traversal, allowing players to easily sprint around the map.
If you need a reference to the default control scheme of Elden Ring: Nightreign, here are the complete controls.

Can You Remap Elden Ring Nightreign Controls?
Yes, you can remap controls in Elden Ring Nightreign, but not everything can be remapped. This is available for both keyboard and mouse, as well as controllers similar to those in Elden Ring. To modify controls, open settings from the main menu and select the controller settings tab.
For the most part, the overall control scheme is similar to most Soulslike titles, but it will take a bit of practice to get used to some of the new mechanics. Players can sprint in Nightreign, and it’s essential if you want to beat the clock and explore as much as possible during a run.
