Bandai Namco has started sending out emails to participants of the closed testing for Elden Ring Nightreign, set to take place from February 14–17, 2025. These lucky players will be among the first to dive into the game, which is designed for a thrilling three-person cooperative mode, as detailed in the official correspondence.

However, due to the immense popularity of Nightreign, scammers are taking advantage by circulating fake testing invitations. Some players have reported receiving emails that mimic official Bandai Namco notifications, falsely claiming to offer a chance to participate in the testing. These fraudulent emails often contain links to deceptive websites that closely resemble Steam's interface.

Victims who click on these links and log into the fake sites risk losing access to their accounts. In some instances, players have even received similar scam messages from their own friends. Fortunately, some affected users have successfully regained access to 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. If in doubt, it's best to stick to official channels and avoid clicking on suspicious links.

In other news, Elden Ring: Nightreign will not feature the traditional messaging system found in other FromSoftware games. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained in an interview that the decision to remove this feature stems from the game's session length. With each gaming session lasting approximately forty minutes, there simply isn't enough time for players to leave or check messages during play.
