FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a substantial player base from early access.
Bandai Namco hasn't disclosed the reason for omitting PC players from this initial test. However, selected console players will enjoy a first look 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 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 due to insufficient time for sending or reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
