FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a substantial player base from early access.
Bandai Namco remains silent on the reasons for excluding PC users from this initial testing phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a privileged preview before the official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and unsettling world. While console gamers receive this early access opportunity, PC users must await further announcements regarding potential future testing periods.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Project director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute play sessions are too short to allow for meaningful message interaction. His exact quote: "We disabled the messaging feature because there isn't enough time for sending or reading messages during sessions, which last approximately forty minutes."
