Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Confirmation Emails Sent, Scams Emerge
FromSoftware has begun distributing confirmation emails for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test, announced via their Twitter (X) account on January 30th, 2025. Excited fans are sharing their confirmations, expressing their anticipation.
A follow-up email containing a unique download code for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S test client will arrive on February 11th, 2025. The application period, which ran from January 10th to 20th, 2025, has concluded, and there's currently no word on additional testing opportunities.
The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test itself, described by FromSoftware as a "preliminary verification test" involving a portion of the game, will run from February 14th to 16th, 2025. This large-scale network load test will assess server capacity under heavy player load. Five 3-hour sessions are scheduled:
- Session 1: February 14th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
- Session 2: February 14th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
- Session 3: February 15th, 11 AM - 2 PM PT
- Session 4: February 16th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
- Session 5: February 16th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
Beware of Scams and Scalpers:
Reports indicate a surge in fraudulent activity. Malicious links disguised as Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invitations are circulating on Steam, redirecting users to phishing sites and compromising accounts. FromSoftware emphasizes that official registration and confirmation occurred solely through their website and social media channels. Any external links should be treated with extreme caution.
Exploiting the excitement, scalpers are already listing purported "confirmed test codes" for exorbitant prices ($150-$200) on various online marketplaces, despite codes not being released until February 11th.
Elden Ring Nightreign, initially revealed at the 2024 Game Awards, is slated for release in 2025 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A precise release date remains unannounced.
