Scammers are distributing fake invitations to test Elden Ring Nightreign

Bandai Namco is sending out emails inviting players to a closed beta test for Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. The test will focus on the game's three-player cooperative mode.

However, beware of phishing scams! Fraudsters are distributing fake invitations mimicking official Bandai Namco communications. These emails often contain links to websites designed to look like Steam, aiming to steal player accounts. Several players have reported receiving such fraudulent emails, some even forwarded from their friends. While some have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is crucial.

Always verify the authenticity of any email claiming to be from Bandai Namco before clicking any links. When in doubt, consult official Bandai Namco channels.

A noteworthy 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. Therefore, the feature has been temporarily disabled for this specific game mode.
