Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Sign-Ups Open January 10th
Get ready, Tarnished! The first network test for Elden Ring Nightreign begins accepting registrations on January 10th, 2025. This limited beta will allow players a sneak peek at the upcoming co-op Soulsborne experience, but with a key restriction: it's exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release and focuses on three-player cooperative gameplay within the Lands Between. This initial network test, scheduled for February 2025, serves as a crucial step in ensuring a smooth launch.
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 (arriving no later than February 2025).
- Participate in the test during February 2025.
Platform Limitations:
The exclusion of PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC from this initial test is noteworthy. While the final game will support these platforms, FromSoftware has confirmed no cross-platform play, meaning the beta will restrict players to their respective console ecosystems. Furthermore, progress made during the test will likely not carry over to the full game. The possibility of additional beta tests remains open.
Gameplay Limitations:
Beyond the platform restrictions, Elden Ring Nightreign's core gameplay will feature solo play or three-player parties only. FromSoftware has opted against supporting two-player groups. Whether the network test will implement further gameplay limitations remains unconfirmed.
Stay tuned for specific beta dates and further details in the coming weeks. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
