FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access solely to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a substantial player base from early access.
Bandai Namco remains silent on the reasons for excluding PC players from this initial testing phase. However, selected console players will enjoy exclusive early gameplay before the official launch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and foreboding setting. Console gamers secure a head start, while PC users await news of potential future testing opportunities.
A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute play sessions are too short to allow for message sending and reading. He explained, "We disabled the messaging feature because there isn't enough time for sending or reading messages during sessions, which last approximately forty minutes."
