Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails inviting participants to the closed beta test of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected players will be among the first to experience this three-person cooperative mode.
However, due to the game's popularity, fraudulent invitations are circulating. Reports indicate scammers are sending emails mimicking official Bandai Namco notifications, containing links to fake websites designed to look like Steam. These links lead to account compromises. Some players have even received these fraudulent messages from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email or link before clicking. When in doubt, consult official Bandai Namco channels. Never follow suspicious links.
A noteworthy change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision in an interview, stating that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively. Therefore, the feature has been disabled for this specific mode.
