Test Incoming: Elden Ring "Nightreign" Exclusively for Consoles

FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a substantial player base from early access.

Bandai Namco has yet to explain the omission of PC players from this initial testing phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a first look before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. While console gamers receive this exclusive preview, PC users await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for message interaction. He stated, "The messaging feature has been disabled due to the limited time available for sending and reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
