The close network test will be spread across five different sessions on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, running from February 14 through February 15th. You’ll be able to log in on each of those days from 6AM ET to 9AM ET or 10PM ET to 1AM ET the following day to put the game through its paces.

Selected players will be able to play “a portion of the game prior to the full game launch,” according to Bandai Namco’s sign-up page, with the goal of getting a sense of how the company’s servers and online systems will handle a mass of fans playing simultaneously. As to what that “portion” will actually contain, Bandai Namco says that players will get “to try the game’s co-op experience,” partnering with two other players to tackle a three day cycle filled with “increasingly challenging enemies and bosses.”

Nightreign appears to use many of the mechanics, armor, weapons and abilities of Elden Ring, but drops them in a revamped setting, “Limveld,” that’s design to change every time you play. Per Bandai Namco, you start each cycle of the game in the familiar Roundtable Hold, where you can pick one of eight characters with unique abilities and “Ultimates.” The Limveld map you play in will shrink each night, and introduce a new boss that if beaten, lets you progress to the next day. The process continues until the final, third night when you face off against a “Nightlord.” And if you fail at any point in the process and have to start a new run (as many will likely do) you’ll earn a relic that lets you “customize and upgrade” your character.

Elden Ring Nightreign was an unexpectedly announced at The Game Awards in 2024, and was a pretty big surprise, not only because Shadow of the Erdtree came out that same year, but because the game’s structure seems remarkably different than anything developer FromSoftware has made before. Anyone lucky enough to be a part of the network test will now be able to see how different it actually feels.
