FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PS5 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 preview of the game before its official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering a fresh, unsettling experience. 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 the limited time – approximately forty minutes – available for sending and reading messages during sessions."
