Elden Ring Nightreign: A Swamp-Free Adventure?
From Software's upcoming cooperative title, Elden Ring Nightreign, will notably omit the poisonous swamps frequently featured in their games. This revelation comes directly from the project's product manager, Yasuhiro Kitao, during a recent press interview.
While a swamp-like area was showcased in the trailer, Kitao clarified it's a distinct location. The absence of the traditional poisonous swamps is attributed to the lack of involvement from Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software's president, a known enthusiast of swamp environments in games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki's absence from Nightreign's development explains this omission.

However, there's a chance Elden Ring Nightreign might feature a previously unannounced two-player mode. Currently, only single-player and three-player modes have been confirmed, with the exclusion of a two-player mode initially cited as a content balancing issue. From Software is currently 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 and next-generation consoles.
