Elden Ring Nightreign Console Testing Announced

FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a large segment of the fanbase from early access.

Bandai Namco has yet to explain the omission of PC players from this initial testing phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a privileged preview before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. While console gamers get a head start, PC users will need to await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute play sessions are too short to accommodate message sending and reading. He stated, "We removed the messaging feature due to insufficient time for sending or reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
