Elden Ring's Nightreign Network Test Opens for Registration

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 will run sometime in February 2025 and is exclusively for 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 is slated for a 2025 release across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

This initial network test, typical for online games, will gauge server stability and gameplay mechanics. While registration opens January 10th via the official website, the number of participants is unconfirmed. Confirmation emails will be sent no later than February 2025. Specific test dates will be revealed soon.

Key Limitations:

• Platform Exclusivity: The beta is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
• No Cross-Play: Players can only team up with others on the same console.
• No Progress Carryover: It's highly unlikely that beta progress will transfer to the full game.
• Party Size Restrictions: The final game will support solo play and three-player parties, excluding duo gameplay. Further restrictions in the beta remain unannounced.

How to Register:

1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website from January 10th onwards.
2. Register, specifying your preferred console (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
3. Await your confirmation email.
4. Participate in the February 2025 network test.

While the limited platform availability and lack of cross-play are noteworthy, this network test provides a valuable preview of Elden Ring Nightreign's cooperative gameplay. Stay tuned for further updates on testing dates and additional betas.
