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 has yet to explain the omission of PC players from this testing phase. However, selected console players will enjoy a preview of the game before its official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. Console gamers will have the first opportunity to experience the game, while PC users await further announcements regarding potential future testing.
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 due to the limited time available for sending or reading messages within the roughly forty-minute sessions."
