Beware of Scammers and Scalpers
Be cautious of scams related to the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. There have been reports of fraudulent invites circulating on Steam, which redirect users to suspicious pages that can hack accounts and spam friend lists. FromSoftware has only used their official website and social media for registration and confirmations, so any other links should be treated as unauthorized or potentially harmful.
Additionally, scalpers are already trying to cash in on the hype. Despite the codes not being available until February 11, listings for "confirmed test codes" have appeared on various online marketplaces, with prices ranging from $150 to $200, and some even being auctioned off.
Elden Ring Nightreign was first unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, planned for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. While FromSoftware has set a 2025 release window, the exact date remains undisclosed.
