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 sneak peek 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 get priority access to the testing period, PC users will need to await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game message feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified that the approximately forty-minute play sessions are too short to accommodate message sending and reading. He stated, "We removed the messaging feature due to insufficient time for message interaction within the roughly forty-minute session length."
