Elden Ring Nightreign's first network test registration opens January 10th, exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This limited beta, scheduled for February 2025, offers a sneak peek at the upcoming co-op Soulsborne experience announced at The Game Awards 2024.
FromSoftware and Bandai Namco's Elden Ring Nightreign, targeting a 2025 release, is designed for three-player parties within The Lands Between. This initial network test is a standard pre-launch procedure, with registration opening on January 10th via the official website. The number of available slots remains undisclosed.
How to Register for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test:
- Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
- Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
- Await confirmation via email.
- Participate in the February 2025 test.
Platform Limitations:
The beta's exclusivity to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is notable, representing less than half of the game's planned platforms (PS4, Xbox One, and PC are also slated for release). Cross-platform play is not supported, limiting interaction to players on the same console. Progress made during the beta is unlikely to transfer to the full game. Further beta tests are possible, but unconfirmed.
Gameplay Restrictions:
Beyond the platform limitations, Elden Ring Nightreign features inherent network restrictions. The game will only support solo play or three-player parties; two-player parties are not supported. Whether the network test will impose additional restrictions remains unclear.
