Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails inviting players to participate in the closed beta test of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected players will be among the first to experience this three-person cooperative mode.

However, due to the game's popularity, scammers are circulating fraudulent invitations. These emails, designed to mimic official Bandai Namco communications, contain links to fake websites resembling Steam, designed to steal player accounts. Some players report receiving these fraudulent messages from compromised friend accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email or link before clicking. When in doubt, refer to official Bandai Namco channels. Never follow suspicious links.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging feature. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively. Therefore, the feature has been disabled for this specific game mode.
