Elden Ring Nightreign: A Poisonous Swamp-Free Adventure?
From Software's upcoming cooperative title, Elden Ring Nightreign, will notably omit the series' signature poisonous swamps, a detail revealed by product manager Yasuhiro Kitao. While a swamp-like area was featured in the trailer, Kitao clarified it's a distinct location. This absence is attributed to the lack of involvement from Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software's head and a known enthusiast of swamp environments, whose influence is evident in previous titles like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki did not participate in Nightreign's development.

A potential two-player mode is under consideration. Currently, only single-player and three-player modes are confirmed, with the exclusion of a two-player option initially cited as a content balancing issue. From Software is actively evaluating the feasibility of adding this mode, but a final decision remains pending.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, for PC and current-gen and next-gen consoles.
