Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test
No one expectedElden Ringto have a sequel (or multiplayer spin-off), but FromSoftware continues to surprise us. DuringThe Game Awards 2024, they unveiledElden Ring: Nightreign, a three-player co-op game launching in 2025 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Its director, Junya Ishizaki, explained why the game only supports solo play or groups of three players and confirmed it is not a “games as a service” title.
Elden Ring: Nightreignwill feature numerous bosses, including some from the Dark Souls trilogy. The good news is that players will be able to try a network test in February. However, this test is limited to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, even though the game will also launch onPC, PS4, and Xbox One.
On their official Twitter/X account, FromSoftware confirmed that registrations open at 3:00 PM CET and will close on January 20.
