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.

How To Sign Up For The Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network Test
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.
Registration ends for the Closed Network Test on January 20th at 6 AM PST.
