Beware: Scammers and Scalpers Emerge

Reports indicate a concerning scam on Steam, where players receive fraudulent Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test invites. These links lead to suspicious pages, potentially compromising accounts and spreading the scam via mass messages to friends. FromSoftware emphasizes that official registration and confirmation only occurred through their website and social media channels. Any other links should be treated with extreme caution.

Adding insult to injury, scalpers are already attempting to profit from the hype. Despite codes not being available until February 11th, listings on various online marketplaces are appearing, offering "confirmed test codes" at exorbitant prices ranging from $150 to $200, with some even auctioned off.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, initially announced during the Game Awards 2024, is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. A precise release date remains unannounced.
