FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a large segment of the fanbase 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 preview of the game before its official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the storyline of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and foreboding setting. While console gamers get early access, 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 messaging feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient time for message interaction. He explained, "We removed the messaging feature due to the limited time available for sending and reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
