The Closed Network Test Begins In Two Days

Within three years, we’ll have had Elden Ring, Armored Core 6, Shadow of the Erdtree, and Nightreign.

Nightreign can only be played in groups of three, but if you’re only playing in a pair during the network test, you can still queue online and find a random player to complete the set.
