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 significant platform restriction.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is slated 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 ensuring a smooth launch.
Platform Limitations:
Unfortunately, this first test will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. While the full game targets PS4, Xbox One, and PC as well, this initial beta excludes these platforms. Furthermore, FromSoftware has confirmed no cross-platform play for the final release, meaning players will be limited to their respective console ecosystems during the test.
Registration Details:
Beginning January 10th, interested players can register via the official Elden Ring Nightreign website. The number of available slots is undisclosed, and confirmation emails will be sent out no later than February 2025, the month the test is scheduled to run. Specific dates for the beta will be announced soon.
What to Expect:
- Limited Platform Availability: PS5 and Xbox Series X/S only.
- No Cross-Play: Players can only connect with others on the same console.
- No Progress Carryover: It's highly unlikely that any progress made during the beta will transfer to the final game.
- Three-Player Parties Only: Solo play or groups of three are supported; duo play is not currently balanced.
- February 2025 Launch: The network test is expected to run sometime in February 2025.
How to Register:
- Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website (link will be available January 10th).
- Complete the registration form, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
- Await a confirmation email.
- Prepare to enter The Lands Between in February 2025!
While the platform limitations are a disappointment for some, this network test provides a valuable opportunity for early access to Elden Ring Nightreign. Stay tuned for further updates on specific dates and additional details.
