Scammers are distributing fake invitations to test Elden Ring Nightreign

Bandai Namco has begun sending out emails inviting players to participate in the closed testing of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected players will be among the first to experience this three-person cooperative mode.

However, due to the game's popularity, scammers are circulating fraudulent invitations. Reports indicate fake emails, mimicking official Bandai Namco notifications, are being sent. These emails contain links to websites designed to look like Steam, tricking players into compromising their accounts. In some cases, victims receive these messages from compromised friend accounts. While some have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is advised.

Always verify the authenticity of any email or link before clicking. When in doubt, consult official Bandai Namco channels.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game messaging feature. Project director Junya Ishizaki explained this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute gameplay sessions don't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively. Therefore, the feature has been disabled for this specific mode.
