We can't help but be excited to try out Nightreign, Elden Ring's fast-paced cooperative offering, arriving in 2025. Developer FromSoftware (a development studio that rarely misses) has revealed that PS5 players can sign up to take part in a network test for the standalone adventure.
Registrations open on 10th January, and if you're interested in participating, you can read more about the process here. Those lucky, chosen few will get to "play a portion of the game before the full game launch. Various technical verifications of online systems will be examined by conducting large-scale network load tests."
This scribe, at least, thinks Nightreign sounds sick and can't wait to play it. The focused, battle royale-style gameplay could be a nice match for Elden Ring's power progression if it's balanced properly; we even like the idea of character classes. While FromSoftware is known for its innovative multiplayer ideas, it is somewhat infamous for its fiddly network, connectivity, and matchmaking services. Here's hoping that Nightreign enjoys a successful launch in 2025.
