Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: A Three-Hour Daily Limit
The upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign network test will impose a three-hour daily playtime restriction on participants. This limited access test, running from February 14th to 17th, is exclusively available to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 players. Applications are currently open.
The news of this time constraint might disappoint those anticipating extensive playtime, but it's a crucial step in verifying the game's online systems through large-scale network load testing. The test serves as a preliminary check before the full game's release.
FromSoftware's Elden Ring, released in 2022, achieved phenomenal success, setting a new benchmark for the studio. The anticipation surrounding its spin-off, Nightreign, is immense, even surpassing the initial Elden Ring hype. This is partly due to the unexpected announcement of Nightreign following the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which revitalized Elden Ring's popularity. Nightreign was officially unveiled at The Game Awards 2024.
Nightreign represents a significant departure for FromSoftware, prioritizing co-op gameplay and incorporating roguelike elements such as randomized encounters. While a release date remains unannounced, the network test suggests a forthcoming update. PC players are excluded from this network test, but the game will launch on PC at a later date.
