Elden Ring: Nightreign will only be tested on consoles

Author : Finn Feb 01,2025

FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. 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 test phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a sneak peek before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering a chilling new setting and gameplay experiences. While console gamers get early access, 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 message feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for message interaction. He stated, "We disabled the messaging feature because there isn't enough time for sending or reading messages during sessions, which last approximately forty minutes."
