The Night Calls: Network Test Details
Mark your calendars, brave warriors! The closed beta network test for Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to run from February 14 to February 17, 2025. That’s right, you could be spending Valentine’s Day battling horrific bosses with your friends – how romantic!

A New Realm Awaits
Haven’t heard of Nightreign yet? Let me fill you in! Nightreign isn’t just a rehash of our beloved Elden Ring. Oh no, Nightreign is its own unique and exciting beast. Picture this:
- You and two fellow Tarnished, dropped into a twisted version of the Lands Between called Limveld.
- Procedurally generated areas that change with each playthrough. No more memorizing every nook and cranny!
- A roguelike structure with day-night cycles that’ll keep you on your toes.
- Eight unique characters to choose from, each with their own abilities. No more “prisoner with a pot on his head” for everyone!

The Future is Bright (or Dark, Depending on Your Perspective)
While we don’t have an exact release date yet, Elden Ring: Nightreign is confirmed for a 2025 release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. The whispers in the wind suggest it might grace us with its presence in the latter half of the year.
So, Tarnished, are you ready to face the night? Will you answer the call and step into the twisted realm of Limveld? The beta test in February is our first chance to get a taste of this dark new world. Sharpen your skills, gather your allies, and prepare to die… repeatedly. After all, what’s an Elden Ring game without a healthy dose of frustration and triumph?
May the guidance of grace be with you all. And remember: in Nightreign, the night is dark and full of terrors – but that’s half the fun!
