Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test keys go out, pre-load available

Elden Ring Nightreign’s network test is drawing near and keys have already been sent out, with pre-load now available. The download is only around 10GB, which some might be surprised to hear.

As addressed by XboxEra, Nightreign’s got some testing to do ahead of the game’s actual release. Of course, some may expect potential bugs here and there. Unfortunately, it’s only available through an invite by Bandai Namco.

Below is the network test times.

• Session 1: Feb 14th, 3am to 6 am PST
• Session 2: Feb 14th, 7pm to 10 pm PST
• Session 3: Feb 15th, 11am to 2pm PST
• Session 4: Feb 16th, 3am to 6 am PST
• Session 5: Feb 16th, 7pm to 10 pm PST

Elden Ring Nightreign is the spin-off to FromSoftware’s wildly success. Instead of it being you against the world, you get to bring along friends as you duke it out against waves of increasingly difficult enemies until you reach a final boss after three in-game days.

Elden Ring Nightreign has no conclusive release date beyond 2025.
