Nightingale opens it’s forbidden lands to beta testing in early 2024

You may have gathered by our preview from a while back, but Nightingale is certainly one of our most anticipated games. It’s seen a few delays, but we’re getting closer to launch. A good sign – the stress test for the servers will occur in early 2024. To get in line for a chance at playing, check out the information below, and don’t forget to wishlist the game on Steam!

In preparation for our upcoming Early Access launch, we’re inviting all aspiring Realmwalkers to help us “break the portal network” as we stress-test the Nightingale servers in early 2024. We welcome everyone to sign up for the event as it will give players eagerly anticipating the release of Nightingale a taste of the Realms before they officially open on February 22, 2024.

How to Participate:

To sign up for the playtest, all you need to do is click the “Request Access” button on our Steam page under the “Nightingale Playtest” section: Steam page.

This stress test is completely separate from any previous playtesting you may have been a part of. If you previously completed a playtesting survey or received playtesting keys, they WILL NOT grant you access to the stress test. You must sign up for the playtest on our Steam page to ensure you’re eligible.

You do not need to buy a copy of the game to participate in the stress test – participation is completely free for you!

Key Dates and Times:

In January, we’ll be going into more detail about the stress test, including final information on the date and times, as well as confirming the maximum number of participants. Be sure to keep an eye out for emails, our socials, and/or Discord for more information as it becomes available.

What to Expect:

There are no bad outcomes to this test. Whether it’s all smooth connections, or the servers catch fire, the team will gain valuable information to prepare for the Early Access launch in February.

We hope that all participants can connect to the Realms and enjoy the first couple of hours of the game without interruption. However, it may be that all or some participants might experience longer than usual connection times, or may not be able to connect at all. Whatever happens, we’ll be with you the whole way, communicating through the Official Discord [join here].
