Elden Ring Nightreign's First 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, scheduled for February 2025, will exclusively run on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is a cooperative Soulsborne experience set in the Lands Between, designed for three-player parties. The game's full release is slated for 2025.

This initial network test is a crucial step in preparing for launch. While the number of available test slots remains undisclosed, interested players can register via the official website starting January 10th. Expect confirmation emails no later than February 2025. Specific test dates will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Platform Limitations:

A key limitation is the exclusion of PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players from this beta. This means the test will only encompass a fraction of the game's target platforms. Furthermore, FromSoftware has confirmed the absence of cross-platform multiplayer in the final game, mirroring the beta's limitations.

Other Key Details:

  • Progress made during the network test likely won't transfer to the full game.
  • Future betas are possible, but unconfirmed.
  • The game will only support solo play or three-player parties; two-player parties are not supported. Whether the beta will enforce additional restrictions remains to be seen.

How to Register:

  1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website (link to be provided on January 10th).
  2. Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
  3. Await your confirmation email.
  4. Participate in the test during February 2025.
