Bandai Namco has started sending out emails to participants for the closed testing of *Elden Ring Nightreign*, set to take place from February 14 to 17, 2025. These fortunate players will be among the first to experience the game, designed specifically for a three-person cooperative mode, as stated in the official letter.
Given the immense popularity of *Nightreign*, there has been a surge in scam attempts. Some players have reported receiving emails designed to mimic official notifications from Bandai Namco, purporting to invite them to participate in the testing. These deceptive emails often contain links leading to fraudulent websites that resemble Steam's platform.

Scammers are tricking players into logging into these fake resources, resulting in the loss of access to their accounts. In some instances, victims have even received similar scam messages from their own friends. Fortunately, some affected players have managed to recover their accounts by reaching out to Steam support.
It's crucial to exercise caution with any links you receive and to always verify the authenticity of the sources. If in doubt, stick to official channels and avoid clicking on suspicious links.
In *Elden Ring: Nightreign*, players will no longer have the option to leave messages in the game. Junya Ishizaki, the project director, explained this decision in an interview. He noted that the gaming sessions in *Elden Ring: Nightreign* last approximately forty minutes, which does not provide enough time for players to leave or check messages during gameplay.
As a result, due to the limited duration of the sessions, the messaging feature has been disabled to enhance the gaming experience.
