Tom Henderson: next week, we will learn the Elden Ring: Nightreign release date

Tom Henderson has revealed major updates regarding *Elden Ring: Nightreign*. If we take into account his track record of accurate reports, a trusted source close to FromSoftware has reportedly disclosed the date when new details—and possibly the official launch window—will be announced. According to this information, the reveal is expected to occur next Wednesday.

While the primary focus may be on confirming the release date for *Elden Ring: Nightreign*, it's likely that more than just the launch date will be shared. As the game approaches its anticipated rollout, gaming media outlets are expected to begin publishing their first in-depth previews. Henderson notes that the developers’ current plan—referred to as “Plan A”—targets a late May release for the game. Additionally, there’s a strategic reason behind choosing February 12 as the announcement date.

Why February 12 Matters

Firstly, there are rumors suggesting that a new PlayStation State of Play presentation could go live on February 12. This would provide an ideal platform for Bandai Namco and FromSoftware to showcase key details about *Elden Ring: Nightreign* to a global audience. Secondly, a closed beta test is scheduled to run from February 14 to February 17, giving a select group of players early access to the game. These testers are likely to share gameplay impressions and other insights online, which means the developers would benefit from officially releasing information ahead of those leaks.
