Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Registration Now Live

The 2024 Game Awards delivered a plethora of exciting announcements, including Naughty Dog's new project and the highly anticipated trailer for The Witcher IV. However, FromSoftware may have stolen the show with the unveiling of Elden Ring: Nightreign. Here's how to participate in the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test.

How to Access Elden Ring: Nightreign Early via the Network Test

While many players are still grappling with the challenging bosses in the *Shadow of the Erdtree* DLC, anticipation is high for the next chapter in the *Elden Ring* saga, *Nightreign*. FromSoftware is offering a unique opportunity: a network test allowing select players early access to a portion of the game. Registration is straightforward.

Visit the dedicated Elden Ring: Nightreign section on the Bandai Namco website for complete details.

What Awaits in Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces several key features. Most notably, it will feature co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and conquer enemies together.

The trailer showcases a wealth of new weapons and movement mechanics. However, the most striking reveal might be a boss that bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls III's Nameless King, as noted by The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan. Given the co-op element, this boss promises an even more formidable challenge in Nightreign.

This concludes the guide on registering for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. For those prioritizing completing the main game before diving into the sequel, a guide on obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword is available.
