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 limitation: it's exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is set for a 2025 release and promises a three-player cooperative adventure in the Lands Between. This initial network test serves as a crucial step in preparing the game for 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. Exact dates will be announced shortly.
Platform Exclusivity and Other Details:
This beta's exclusivity to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is noteworthy, as the full game will also release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Furthermore, Elden Ring Nightreign will not feature cross-platform play, meaning players will only be able to connect with others on the same console family.
While not officially confirmed, progress made during the network test likely won't carry over to the final game. The possibility of additional beta tests remains open.
The game itself will support solo play and three-player parties only; FromSoftware has opted against balancing for two-player groups. Whether the network test will impose further gameplay restrictions remains to be seen. Stay tuned for further updates!
