Elden Ring’s upcoming spinoff titled Nightreign was recently announced at The Game Awards. It is a multiplayer game where you have to beat the Nightlord. Sounds easy, right? Given Elden Ring’s history it will be anything but easy!
Apart from the official announcement, developers Bandai Namco also revealed that there is going to be a network test for Elden Ring Nightreign. Excited to grab a sneak peek? Here’s everything you need to know about the network test.
What is a Network Test?
A network test is basically a demo for an online co-op game. It gives developers a chance to see how their servers hold up and if things are working or not.
Players also get a chance to see a bit of the upcoming game in action before it takes the stage. It is a preview so win-win for all.
Any last-minute changes will be done based on how the network test goes. It is also possible that something which was present in the game during the network test does not make the final cut.
Network tests are a great opportunity to see the product (game) play out with a small group of people. Of course, the actual numbers are far more than the participants. However, it does give a good estimate of the sort of traffic one can imagine.
How to sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test?
Registrations for the Elden Ring Nightreign network test will begin from January 10th. Keep an eye on the official Elden Ring account on X for announcements.
When and where will the Network Test take place?
The Elden Ring Nightreign network test will begin sometime in February. Developers Bandai Namco are yet to announce an exact date.
You can take part in the network test on either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
Even if you miss out on the network test, you won’t have to wait much longer to play the game. Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled to launch in 2025.
