Elden Ring Nightreign Fake Invites: Beware of Scams!

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 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 look like Steam. These malicious links aim to steal player accounts. Some players have even received these fraudulent messages from compromised friends' accounts. While some victims have successfully recovered their accounts through Steam support, caution is paramount.

Always verify the authenticity of any email or link before clicking. When in doubt, consult official Bandai Namco channels. Never follow 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 gameplay sessions don't allow sufficient time for players to send or read messages effectively. Therefore, this feature has been temporarily disabled for the duration of the beta test.
