The creators of Dark Souls and Bloodborne's next dark fantasy RPG, Elden Ring, will have a playable closed network test event (beta) on November 12. Players will get their first taste of the game to help the development team polish it ahead of its release, set for February 25, 2022.

Many fans who've heard about the chance for early access to Elden Ring are wondering the answer to how to sign up for the closed beta. Here's how to join:

Elden Ring is the next game from FromSoftware, known for the Souls series and equally rock-hard games. However, this game was designed with input from George R.R. Martin, creator of Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire). Martin's involvement means the game's story will be deeper than most Souls games and will offer a more traditional narrative experience than previous FromSoftware games. That explains why players are so eager to get into the closed beta.

Players can sign up to join by heading to FromSoftware's website. This will help avoid disappointment when the time comes.

Important message:
ELDEN RING will release on Feb 25, 2022, as the depth & strategic freedom of the game exceeded initial expectations. Thank you for your trust & patience. We look forward to seeing you experience the game in the Closed Network Test in Nov.
