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 will, however, 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. Targeted for a 2025 release, this network test provides a crucial pre-launch opportunity for players to experience the game's online features.
Limited Platform Availability: While the final game is slated for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in addition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, this first network test will only be accessible on the latter two platforms. FromSoftware has confirmed no cross-platform play will be available in the final game or the network test.
How to Register:
- Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
- Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
- Await a confirmation email (expected no later than February 2025).
- Participate in the network test during February 2025 (exact dates to be announced).
Test Details and Limitations:
The test is expected to have a limited number of participants. Progress made during the beta will likely not transfer to the full game. Further beta tests are possible, but haven't been confirmed by FromSoftware.
Elden Ring Nightreign will feature either solo play or three-player parties; two-player parties are not supported. Whether additional gameplay restrictions will be in place for the network test remains to be seen. The limited platform availability and lack of cross-play are key aspects to note.
