The Elden Ring Night Reign network test works the same way as Elden Ring‘s network test in that its main purpose is to discover any problems and errors that may occur during gameplay. In addition, the previous one Elden Ring network test had five three-hour test sessions, so you have multiple options for play.

Your main goal as a tester is to take note of any issues you encounter, and since it’s a test, you’ll probably encounter a few bugs here and there. The test somewhat reflects what the final product may look like, but is by no means complete!

If Elden Ring Night Reign is a co-op game, a big focus of the test will most likely be the game’s multiplayer features and server load, so there may be a few connectivity issues.

Of Night Reign being a roguelike, you experience the gameplay loop of success and defeat, and the progression system. However, progress may depend on the hero you play. It has not yet been confirmed how many of the eight heroes will be available during the test, but in previous tests conducted by PC Gamer and IGN, four heroes were available to play.
