Scammers are distributing fake invitations to test Elden Ring Nightreign

Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails inviting players to participate in the closed beta test of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14th-17th, 2025. Selected players will be among the first to experience this three-person cooperative mode.

However, due to the game's popularity, scammers are circulating fake invitations. These fraudulent emails, designed to mimic official Bandai Namco communications, contain links to websites designed to steal player accounts. These sites often resemble legitimate platforms like Steam. Players are urged to exercise caution and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support.

Remember to always verify the authenticity of any communication before clicking links or providing personal information. Refer to official Bandai Namco channels for legitimate information.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging system. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively.
