Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: A Three-Hour Daily Limit
The upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign network test will impose a three-hour daily playtime restriction on participants. This limited access test, running from February 14th to 17th, is exclusively available to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 players. Applications are currently open.
Following the phenomenal success of Elden Ring in 2022, FromSoftware is generating considerable excitement with its Nightreign spin-off. The original Elden Ring redefined open-world RPGs, winning numerous awards and shattering sales records. The anticipation surrounding Nightreign surpasses even the initial Elden Ring hype.
Applications for the Nightreign network test opened on January 10th. The three-hour daily limit might disappoint those hoping for extensive playtime, but it's crucial to remember the test's purpose: preliminary verification and large-scale network load testing. PC players are excluded from this phase, but the final game will support the platform.
The announcement of Nightreign surprised many, particularly given previous statements about no sequels or further DLC following the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Revealed at The Game Awards 2024, Nightreign represents a significant departure for FromSoftware. It prioritizes co-op gameplay and incorporates roguelike elements such as randomized encounters. While a release date remains unannounced, the network test suggests further news is imminent.

The network test is described on the FromSoftware website as a preliminary verification test where selected players experience a portion of the game before launch. This large-scale test will focus on verifying online systems and network load.
