Exciting news for fans of Elden Ring: Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails to participants for the closed testing of Elden Ring Nightreign, scheduled from February 14 to 17, 2025. These lucky players will be among the first to dive into the game's thrilling three-person cooperative mode, as detailed in the official correspondence.

However, with the immense popularity of Nightreign, a word of caution is necessary. Scammers are taking advantage of the hype by distributing fake testing invitations. Some players have reported receiving emails designed to look like official notifications from Bandai Namco, complete with invitations to participate in the testing. These fraudulent emails often include links to fake websites mimicking the Steam platform.

Victims who click on these links and log into the fake sites risk losing access to their accounts. In some instances, players have received similar scam messages from their own friends. Fortunately, some affected users were able to recover their accounts by reaching out to Steam support.

It's crucial to exercise caution with any links received and to verify the authenticity of the sources. When in doubt, it's safest to consult official channels and avoid clicking on suspicious links.

In other Elden Ring: Nightreign news, a significant gameplay feature has been altered. Project director Junya Ishizaki revealed in an interview that the messaging system, a hallmark of FromSoftware games, will not be available in Elden Ring: Nightreign. The decision was made due to the short duration of gaming sessions, which typically last about forty minutes, leaving insufficient time for players to send or read messages during play.
