Elden Ring: Nightreign will have a closed network test in February 2025

As a lifelong fan of the Soulsborne series, the news about Elden Ring: Nightreign‘s closed network test has sent me into a whirlwind of excitement! After countless hours spent slaying my way through the Lands Between in Shadow of the Erdtree this year, I can hardly contain myself at the prospect of venturing forth once more. The promise of co-op play throughout the game and encounters with classic enemies like the Nameless King has me itching to sharpen my sword and steel my resolve.

At The Game Awards 2024, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco unveiled Elden Ring: Nightreign, an unexpected co-op action survival adventure set within the Lands Between. While they didn’t disclose all details, it was hinted that a closed network test will be happening in February 2025. Registration for this event is expected to open for PlayStation and Xbox players in January.

As a thrilled gamer, I’m excitedly sharing that Bandai Namco and FromSoftware dropped a hint in their latest social media post about Elden Ring: Nightreign. They’ve announced a closed network test coming up in February 2025, which is exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for this initial phase—sorry PC gamers, you’ll have to wait for another round! Registration opens on the game’s website on January 10, 2025. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

Gather your determination, Nightfarers! Registration for the Elden Ring: Night Reign Network Test will commence on January 10, 2025. Find further details below.

As a diehard Elden Ring fan, I must admit that Nightreign’s Game Awards reveal took me by surprise, following our incredible journey through the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion this year. The upcoming game promises a return to the Lands Between, but with some intriguing twists. One of the most exciting changes is the ability to play co-op throughout the game, not just at boss battles and key points as before. It seems we’ll also encounter variants of enemies from earlier games, including what appeared to be The Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 in a fight against the player!

As we approach a forthcoming closed network trial and registration, keep an eye out for additional information and announcements about Nightreign by staying connected with the Elden Ring discussion on Shacknews.
