Elden Ring: Nightreign Console Test Announced

by Connor Jan 12,2025

FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Registration begins January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a large segment of the fanbase from early access.

Bandai Namco has yet to explain the omission of PC players from this initial test phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a sneak peek before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and unsettling world. While console gamers get early access, PC users will need to await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game message feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for message interaction. He stated, "The messaging feature was disabled due to the limited time available for sending and reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
