As anyone who's killed their fair share of Tree Sentinels and Erdtree Burial Watchdogs will attest to, Elden Ring is no stranger to recycled bosses. These reused battles tend to take place in optional areas of the game, and if you're lucky, make slight tweaks to the original fight (the classic being: oh great, now there's two of them).

The Elden Ring Nightreign beta test is running on four consecutive days in February 2025 at different times, so there's more than one opportunity for you to get stuck into it. All of the network beta tests will be three hour long sessions.

Bandai Namco has announced that registrations are now open for the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign closed beta test, which is officially referred to as a closed network test and takes place in mid-February.

To register, head to the Bandai Namco website and enter your details. It's worth noting that registration closes January 20, and only offers a chance to join the Elden Ring Nightreign network test. The test is open to those who do not subscribe to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Core.

Poison-themed areas are one of FromSoftware's most persistent annoying habits, but Elden Ring Nightreign could give them a pleasant twist.
