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 via the official FromSoftware website.

The news of this time constraint may disappoint some players eager for extended gameplay, but it's crucial to remember this is a preliminary test. FromSoftware states the purpose is to conduct large-scale network load tests and verify online systems before the full game launch.

Following the phenomenal success of Elden Ring in 2022, the announcement of Nightreign was a significant surprise, especially given previous statements about no sequels or further DLC after the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Revealed at The Game Awards 2024, Nightreign represents a considerable departure for FromSoftware. It will prioritize co-op gameplay and incorporate roguelike elements, including randomized encounters.

While the release date remains unannounced, the network test suggests a full launch is imminent. PC players, excluded from this test, will have to wait for the official release to experience Nightreign on their platform. The limited playtime, however, underscores the focus on thorough testing of the online infrastructure before a wider release.
