Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails inviting players to participate in the closed testing of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. The email confirms participants will be among the first to experience the game's planned three-person cooperative mode.
However, due to the game's popularity, scammers are circulating fraudulent testing invitations. Players report receiving emails mimicking official Bandai Namco notifications, containing links to fake websites designed to look like Steam. These sites attempt to steal account credentials. Some players have reported receiving these fraudulent messages from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is urged.

Exercise extreme caution with any unsolicited links and always verify the authenticity of the source. When in doubt, consult official channels and avoid suspicious links.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging feature. 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 game mode.
