Elden Ring Nightreign Scalpers and Scammers Already on the Loose

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Confirmation Emails Sent, Scams Emerge

FromSoftware has begun distributing confirmation emails for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test. This follows their January 30th, 2025 announcement on Twitter (X). Excited fans are sharing their confirmation emails online.

A follow-up email containing a unique download code for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S test client will be sent on February 11th, 2025. The test itself runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, with five 3-hour sessions:

• Session 1: February 14th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
• Session 2: February 14th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
• Session 3: February 15th, 11 AM - 2 PM PT
• Session 4: February 16th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
• Session 5: February 16th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT

FromSoftware clarifies the test's purpose: a preliminary verification to assess online systems and server capacity under large-scale network load.

Beware of Scams:

Unfortunately, scammers are already capitalizing on the excitement. Reports indicate a Steam-based scam involving fraudulent invites leading to account compromises and spam messages. FromSoftware emphasizes that official registration and communication occurred solely through their website and social media channels. Any links outside these sources should be treated with extreme caution.

Scalpers are also aggressively listing purported "confirmed test codes" for exorbitant prices ($150-$200) on various online marketplaces, despite codes not being available until February 11th.

Elden Ring Nightreign, initially unveiled at the 2024 Game Awards, is slated for release in 2025 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A precise release date remains unannounced.
