The announcement of Elden Ring Nightreign came as a major shock during The Game Awards 2024. Not only did we think Shadow of the Erdtree would be the last time we were in The Lands Between but it was also felt too soon after its release to see anything new from FromSoftware. Elden Ring Nightreign isn't more DLC but a standalone co-op experience set in a parallel world to Elden Ring that takes a lot of cues from battle royales and extraction shooters. If that sounds interesting, or perhaps confusing, here's how you can sign up for the beta to test it out early.
How to sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign beta
The beta test for Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled for February 14 through 16, but only during select time periods.
Step 1: Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign site starting on January 10.
You can also go and subscribe to the newsletter to get updates sent directly to you.
Step 2: On or after January 10, register for the chance to be selected to participate. All you need is an email address and to select your platform of choice.
Step 3: Wait for instructions on how to access the beta.
So far, the website only lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S as platforms for the beta, so PC, PS4, and Xbox One players will have to wait for the full release.
The beta will only be available for chunks of times across three days, which are as follows:
- February 14: 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. PT
- February 15: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT
- February 16: 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. P.T.
