\u003cp>How badly do you want to play the \u003cstrong>Elden Ring Nightreign\u003c/strong> beta? Invites to the upcoming network test have already been sent out by FromSoftware and the first live demo for the RPG and roguelike is scheduled to begin on Friday February 14. Of course, there are some people who applied to play and didn't get access, and if you're one of them, and you're feeling especially forlorn, well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that you can buy your way into Shadow of the Erdtree's co-op follow-up. The bad news is that it could cost you the same as a brand-new GPU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/network-test\">Read the rest of the story...\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RELATED LINKS:\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/invites\">If you want to play the Elden Ring Nightreign beta, FromSoftware has an update\u003c/a>\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/beta\">Elden Ring Nightreign beta start date and how to sign up\u003c/a>\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/guide\">Elden Ring Nightreign release date estimate, gameplay, and news\u003c/a>\u003c/p>","versions":1,"metadata":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$NewsPost:3558506.metadata","typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"tags":[],"feed":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"NewsFeed:1","typename":"NewsFeed"},"__typename":"NewsPost"},"$NewsPost:3558506.metadata":{"url":"https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/PCGamesN/1790214123118412","author":"editor@pcgamesn.com","__typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"NewsFeed:1":{"id":"1","display":"Community Announcements","__typename":"NewsFeed"},"NewsPost:3558505":{"id":"3558505","gid":"1790214123085413","postedAt":"2025-01-30T15:04:41.000Z","checkedAt":"2025-04-28T16:48:57.497Z","fetchedAt":"2025-02-12T14:03:54.989Z","deletedAt":null,"title":"If you want to play the Elden Ring Nightreign beta, FromSoftware has an update","contents":"\u003cimg width=\"900\" height=\"507\" src=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/sites/pcgamesn/2025/01/elden-ring-nightreign-network-test-beta-from-software-rpg-soulslike-shadow-of-the-erdtree-900x506.jpg\"/>\u003cp>Even by the standards of FromSoftware and the Dark Souls formula, Shadow of the Erdtree was, at times, absolutely brutal. If you've ground your way through the Lands Between, finishing off the Elden Ring DLC in style, you'd be forgiven for wanting some form of reprieve, a nice, long break to play something calmer, kinder. But the \u003cstrong>Elden Ring Nightreign\u003c/strong> beta, also known as the network test, is already almost upon us. A roguelike spin on the sadistic fantasy RPG, Nightreign pits you and three comrades against successively hard mobs and bosses in a white-knuckle fight for survival. If you applied to play it before launch, FromSoftware may have already been in touch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/invites\">Read the rest of the story...\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RELATED LINKS:\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/network-test\">If you didn't get an Elden Ring Nightreign beta invite, you can buy one for $500\u003c/a>\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/beta\">Elden Ring Nightreign beta start date and how to sign up\u003c/a>\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/guide\">Elden Ring Nightreign release date estimate, gameplay, and news\u003c/a>\u003c/p>","versions":1,"metadata":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$NewsPost:3558505.metadata","typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"tags":[],"feed":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"NewsFeed:1","typename":"NewsFeed"},"__typename":"NewsPost"},"$NewsPost:3558505.metadata":{"url":"https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/PCGamesN/1790214123085413","author":"editor@pcgamesn.com","__typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"NewsPost:3558504":{"id":"3558504","gid":"1787858252778297","postedAt":"2025-01-04T11:21:37.000Z","checkedAt":"2025-04-23T09:42:40.003Z","fetchedAt":"2025-02-12T14:03:54.989Z","deletedAt":null,"title":"Elden Ring Nightreign won't have Dark Souls' best feature, but for good reason","contents":"\u003cimg width=\"900\" height=\"507\" src=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/sites/pcgamesn/2025/01/elden-ring-nightreign-900x506.jpg\"/>\u003cp>I adore FromSoftware's take on multiplayer design. Instead of waiting in a lobby with friends or accepting an invite to join a game in progress, the studio's online functionality has its own character. You can watch the spectral recordings of fallen players, offer to help those in need where they need it most, and by far my favorite, write messages on the floor. These can be helpful, make no sense, or outright trick you, and this dynamic makes FromSoftware's games, from Dark Souls to Elden Ring, feel truly alive. That's why I'm sad to report then that these messages won't return for \u003cstrong>Elden Ring Nightreign\u003c/strong>, but it's for a good reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/message-system\">Read the rest of the story...\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RELATED LINKS:\u003cbr />\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.pcgamesn.com/elden-ring-nightreign/guide\">Elden Ring Nightreign release date estimate, gameplay, and news\u003c/a>\u003c/p>","versions":1,"metadata":{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$NewsPost:3558504.metadata","typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"tags":[],"feed":{"type":"id","generated":false,"id":"NewsFeed:1","typename":"NewsFeed"},"__typename":"NewsPost"},"$NewsPost:3558504.metadata":{"url":"https://steamstore-a.akamaihd.net/news/externalpost/PCGamesN/1787858252778297","author":"editor@pcgamesn.com","__typename":"NewsPostMetadata"},"NewsPost:3558503":{"id":"3558503","gid":"1785774543553258","postedAt":"2024-12-13T09:14:16.000Z","checkedAt":"2025-04-08T15:08:04.663Z","fetchedAt":"2025-02-12T14:03:54.989Z","deletedAt":null,"title":"ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN co-op spin-off announced","contents":"\u003cp>\u003cp>ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN was announced by FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment for 2025.
