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 means PC gamers will miss out on early access.
Bandai Namco has yet to explain the exclusion of PC players from this initial test phase. However, console participants will enjoy a sneak peek before the official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. While console players 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 messaging feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient 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."
