Scammers are distributing fake invitations to test Elden Ring Nightreign

Authore: ConnorUpdate:Feb 28,2025

Bandai Namco is sending out emails inviting players to a closed beta test for Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected participants will be among the first to experience the game's three-person cooperative mode.

However, be warned! Due to the game's popularity, fraudulent invitations are circulating. Reports indicate scammers are sending emails mimicking official Bandai Namco notifications, containing links to fake websites designed to resemble Steam. These links compromise player accounts upon login. Some players have even received these fraudulent messages from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts via Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email claiming to be from Bandai Namco or related to Elden Ring: Nightreign testing. If in doubt, consult official channels directly and avoid suspicious links.

A noteworthy 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 session length doesn't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively. Therefore, the feature has been temporarily disabled for this specific experience.
