Bandai Namco is sending out emails inviting players to the closed beta test of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected participants will be among the first to experience the game's three-person cooperative mode.

However, beware of fraudulent invitations! Due to the game's popularity, scammers are circulating fake beta test emails mimicking official Bandai Namco communications. These deceptive emails often contain links to websites designed to look like Steam, aiming to steal player account credentials. Some players have even reported receiving these scams from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email claiming to be from Bandai Namco or related to the Elden Ring: Nightreign beta test. When in doubt, consult official channels and avoid clicking suspicious links.

A noteworthy change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging feature. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for players to effectively send and read messages. The feature has been disabled to optimize the limited playtime.
