Elden Ring Network Test: Dates, Times, And How To Register
From Software has just announced an Elden Ring network test, which will allow a select few to experience the opening hours of its highly anticipated title. The news of its network test comes just as an Elden Ring delay was announced, pushing the game back past January next year.
Elden Ring marks the return of an experience akin to both Dark Souls and Bloodborne. However, Elden Ring will be the developers’ first venture into a true open world design, which is rumoured to be the reason for its delay. Luckily, to counter the delay, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco announced a network test for the game. Access to the tests aren’t just handed out to anyone, however:. Here’s how to register for the Elden Ring network test.
