Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Opens Tomorrow

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Sign-ups Open January 10th

The highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test begins accepting registrations on January 10th, 2025. This initial beta, scheduled for February 2025, will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is a cooperative Soulsborne experience set in The Lands Between, designed for three-player parties. The full game is slated for release in 2025.

This limited-time network test will likely have a restricted number of participants, with details on the number of available slots yet to be revealed.

How to Register for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test:

1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
2. Complete the registration process, specifying your preferred console (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
3. Await a confirmation email, expected no later than February 2025.
4. Participate in the network test during February 2025. Specific dates will be announced soon.

Platform Limitations and Other Details

This initial beta presents a key limitation: it's only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, excluding PS4, Xbox One, and PC players. Furthermore, Elden Ring Nightreign will not feature cross-platform multiplayer, meaning players can only team up with others on the same console. Progress made during the network test is also not expected to transfer to the final game.

The game's cooperative mode is limited to solo play or three-player parties; FromSoftware has opted not to balance the game for two-player groups. Whether the network test will impose further gameplay restrictions remains to be seen. Additional beta tests may be announced at a later date.
