Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is a cooperative Soulsborne experience set in The Lands Between, designed primarily for three-player parties. Targeting a 2025 release, the game will undergo at least one network test. Registration opens Friday, January 10th, via the official website. While the number of available spots isn't specified, it's likely to be limited.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Limited to Two Platforms

Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails by February 2025, the planned test period. Specific dates will be announced soon. Importantly, this test is exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This means less than half of the game's target platforms (PS4, Xbox One, and PC are also planned) will be included. Cross-platform multiplayer is not supported, limiting play to users on the same console ecosystem.

While unconfirmed, progress during the network test likely won't carry over to the full game. Further betas are possible, though unannounced.

Beyond the lack of cross-platform play, party sizes are also restricted. Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo play or parties of three; two-player parties are not supported. Any additional gameplay restrictions during the network test are currently unknown.
