Like Dark Souls 2, 3, and Elden Ring before it, FromSoftware's next game will get a playable beta test sometime before release.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a co-op roguelike spin-off of the hit RPG, is due sometime in 2025. During a preview event last week, I went hands-on with a build that will likely be similar or identical to what to expect from a Nightreign beta, and FromSoftware confirmed that ahead of launch it will conduct a Network Test to see how the game servers hold up to thousands of simultaneous players. And, presumably, to gather lots of player data and feedback to make final adjustments before release.
