Elden Ring: Nightreign Scams Emerge

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Confirmation Emails Sent, Scams Emerge

FromSoftware has begun distributing confirmation emails for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test, announced via their Twitter (X) account on January 30th, 2025. Excited fans are sharing their confirmations online.

Selected participants will receive a follow-up email on February 11th, 2025, containing a unique code to download the test client for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The registration period, which ran from January 10th to 20th, 2025, has concluded, and FromSoftware hasn't yet indicated whether additional test opportunities will be available.

The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test:

FromSoftware describes the network test as a crucial "preliminary verification test" involving selected players experiencing a portion of the game before its official launch. This large-scale test will assess online system capabilities and server capacity under significant player load.

The test runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, offering five 3-hour sessions:

• Session 1: February 14th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
• Session 2: February 14th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
• Session 3: February 15th, 11 AM - 2 PM PT
• Session 4: February 16th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
• Session 5: February 16th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT

Beware of Scams and Scalpers:

Reports indicate a fraudulent scheme circulating on Steam, where users receive fake Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invitations. Clicking these links redirects users to malicious websites, potentially compromising accounts and spreading the scam via mass friend list messaging. FromSoftware emphasizes that legitimate invitations originate only from their official website and social media channels.

Exploiting the excitement, scalpers have already begun listing purported "confirmed test codes" on various online marketplaces for exorbitant prices ranging from $150 to $200, with some even auctioned. Remember, codes aren't distributed until February 11th.

Elden Ring Nightreign, initially revealed during the 2024 Game Awards, is slated for release in 2025 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A precise release date remains unannounced.
