Fraudulent Elden Ring Nightreign Invitations Circulate Online

Bandai Namco is sending out emails inviting players to participate in the closed beta test of Elden Ring: Nightreign, scheduled for February 14-17, 2025. Selected players 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 look like Steam. These links lead to account compromise. Some players have even received these fraudulent messages from compromised friend accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email claiming to be from Bandai Namco or related to the beta test. Never click suspicious links. Consult official Bandai Namco channels for legitimate information.

A significant 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 disabled for this specific game mode.
