Elden Ring: Nightreign is getting a closed network test, and I’m totally not fuming because PC aren’t invited to the party, or anything

You might’ve heard it said—probably on this website—that PC gaming won the console war, that we’ve got it so good that other bricks are obsolete. And while I still believe those things are true, being a writer here and having the requisite amount of pride, I’m not afraid to admit that this recent blow stings. FromSoftware‘s co-op roguelike spinoff Elden Ring: Nightreign is having a network test, and PC players aren’t invited.

As someone who doesn’t even own a TV, let alone a console, I’m trying to be totally normal about it. In fact, I’m happy for my colleagues who own PS5s and the Xbox Series X|S, the only two platforms Bandai Namco has made worthy of its audience’s presence. I am not, no matter what you might think, clenching my fist and rueing my past financial decisions.
