Bandai Namco has started sending out emails to participants selected for the closed testing of Elden Ring Nightreign, set to take place from February 14 to 17, 2025. These lucky players will be among the first to dive into the game, designed specifically for a thrilling three-person cooperative mode.
Given the massive popularity of Nightreign, it's no surprise that scammers are jumping at the chance to deceive eager fans. Reports have surfaced of fraudulent emails designed to look like official invitations from Bandai Namco. These deceptive emails often include links to fake websites mimicking the appearance of Steam. Victims who click these links and attempt to log in risk losing access to their accounts. Some have even received similar scam messages from friends whose accounts were compromised. Fortunately, some affected players were able to recover their accounts by reaching out to Steam support.

To protect yourself, exercise extreme caution with any links you receive, and always verify the authenticity of the sources. If in doubt, stick to official channels and avoid clicking on suspicious links.
In other news, Elden Ring: Nightreign will not feature the message-leaving system familiar to fans of 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 gameplay sessions lasting about forty minutes, there simply isn't enough time for players to leave or check messages during play.
