The excitement for Elden Ring Nightreign, the highly anticipated spinoff from the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, continues to grow as FromSoftware gears up for its first network test. Scheduled from February 14 to February 17, the test will offer players a limited window to dive into the game, with a daily playtime cap of three hours. This news may disappoint fans eager to explore the game extensively, but it's a crucial step towards ensuring a smooth launch.
Applications for the network test opened on January 10, and interested players can apply through the official FromSoftware website. Unfortunately, PC players will have to wait until the official release to experience Nightreign.
Elden Ring Nightreign builds upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, Elden Ring, which was released to massive success at the beginning of 2022. Elden Ring not only won numerous awards but also set new sales records, becoming a landmark title in the gaming industry. The anticipation for Nightreign has been fueled by the game's reveal at The Video Game Awards 2024, especially after FromSoftware announced there would be no further sequels or DLCs for Elden Ring following the expansive Shadow of the Erdtree released last summer.
Nightreign introduces a significant shift in FromSoftware's design philosophy, emphasizing co-op gameplay and incorporating roguelike elements, such as randomly generated encounters. While a release date has not been announced, the upcoming network test signals that more information about Elden Ring Nightreign is on the horizon.
"The network test is a preliminary verification test in which the selected testers play a portion of the game prior to the full game launch," explains the official website. "Various technical verifications of online systems will be examined by conducting large-scale network load tests." This test is essential for ensuring that the game's online systems are robust and ready for the official launch.
For those eager to get a taste of Elden Ring Nightreign, the network test offers a thrilling, albeit brief, opportunity to experience what FromSoftware has in store with this exciting new title.
