Bandai Namco is sending out emails inviting players to a closed beta test for Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected participants will be among the first to experience the game's three-person cooperative mode.
However, beware of fraudulent invitations! Due to Nightreign's popularity, scammers are circulating fake beta test invitations disguised as official Bandai Namco communications. These emails often contain links to malicious websites mimicking Steam, designed to steal player accounts. Some players report receiving these scams from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts via Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email or link before clicking. When in doubt, consult official Bandai Namco channels. Avoid suspicious links entirely.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for players to effectively send and read messages. The feature was disabled to optimize the limited playtime.
