Elden Ring Nightreign is a spin-off sequel for Elden Ring that will be throwing players back into The Lands Between with a few new twists to keep it interesting. While the full release of Elden Ring Nightreign is still a little ways away, there will be a network test that also serves as a beta, letting players try out the game firsthand.
This Beta is free to join, though you will need to apply to be able to participate. This network test will be a limited experience for the game, and will only be open for a few specific days and times. Here's how to join and exactly how long it lasts.

To sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network Test, you'll need to go to the official Bandai Namco website's Elden Ring Nightreign section. To enter, you'll need to enter your birth month and year to confirm your age, as the Network Test is only for those 18+. On the main page for the Elden Ring Nightreign , scroll down to find the application, where you'll need to fill out the following information:
Email Address.
Verify Email Address.
The Platform you wish to play the Network Test on.
The country where you currently reside.
Then confirm you are not a robot and complete the CAPTCHA test.
After that, Bandai Namco will send you a test email to confirm your email is real. It can take a few minutes or even a few hours for the email to be sent so be patient and also check your Spam Folder if you don't see it right away. After receiving the email and verifying your email is real, you'll officially be entered into potentially joining the Closed Network Test. This is only an application, and only a select number of players will be chosen, with an email being sent to you if you are one of those chosen players.

There will be a total of five sessions of the Closed Network Test, with players only able to access the game if chosen during any of these five time frames:
While waiting to see if you've been selected for the network test, it's worth keeping a close eye on your email inbox for the confirmation message from Bandai Namco. If you do manage to secure a spot, make sure to mark those five session times on your calendar so you don't miss the chance to dive back into The Lands Between and experience the new co-op twist firsthand.
As you prepare for the beta or look ahead to the full release, some players enjoy exploring additional resources to enhance their gaming setup. Platforms like Lootbar can serve as a convenient marketplace for game-related purchases and services, helping you get the most out of your time in Elden Ring Nightreign when it finally arrives.
