Tom Henderson has reported significant updates regarding Elden Ring: Nightreign. If his past reliable reporting is any indication—and it often is—a FromSoftware source has revealed that new details and the official launch date will be announced next Wednesday.
The developers are expected to announce the Elden Ring: Nightreign release date, but that's not all. Gaming press previews are also anticipated. Henderson suggests a late May release is the developers' primary goal (Plan A). The February 12th date for the announcement is strategically chosen.
This date coincides with a potential new State of Play presentation. Furthermore, a closed beta test runs from February 14th to 17th for select participants. These players are likely to leak gameplay details, prompting the developers to preempt any potential uncontrolled information release.
