Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Sign-Ups Begin January 10th
The first network test for Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware's upcoming co-op Soulsborne title, opens for registration on January 10th, 2025. This initial beta will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release and focuses on three-player cooperative gameplay in the Lands Between. The upcoming network test serves as a crucial step in preparing for launch.
While registration opens January 10th via the official website, the number of available slots remains undisclosed. Confirmation emails will be sent out no later than February 2025, the planned month for the beta. Specific 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 initial test. This means the beta will only encompass a fraction of the game's planned platforms. Furthermore, FromSoftware has confirmed the absence of cross-platform multiplayer, restricting gameplay to players on the same console family.
Test Details and Expectations:
Progress made during the network test is unlikely to transfer to the full game. Whether additional betas will be conducted hasn't been confirmed, but remains a possibility.
The game itself will only support solo play or three-player parties, omitting two-player options due to balancing concerns. Any further gameplay restrictions for the network test are currently unknown.
How to Register:
- Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
- Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
- Await your confirmation email.
- Participate in the test during February 2025.
