FromSoftware's upcoming title will initially be tested exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a large segment of the fanbase from early access.
Bandai Namco hasn't publicly disclosed the reasons for excluding PC players from this initial test phase. However, selected console players will gain early access to the game.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering a new, ominous setting and gameplay experiences. While console gamers enjoy this early access, PC users await news on potential future testing opportunities.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. 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 because there isn't enough time for sending or reading messages during sessions, which last approximately forty minutes."
