Elden Ring Nightreign will not feature poisonous swamps

Elden Ring Nightreign: A Poisonous Swamp-Free Adventure?

From Software's upcoming cooperative title, Elden Ring Nightreign, will notably omit the venomous swamps that have become a hallmark of the studio's games. This revelation comes directly from Yasuhiro Kitao, the project's product manager, in recent press interviews.

While a swamp-like area was featured in the Elden Ring Nightreign trailer, Kitao clarifies it's a distinct location. The absence of the traditional poisonous swamps is attributed to the non-participation of Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software's president, who is known for his fondness of incorporating these challenging environments into games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series.

However, there's a chance Elden Ring Nightreign might still surprise players. While initially only single-player and three-player modes were announced (due to content balancing concerns regarding a two-player mode), From Software is currently exploring the possibility of adding a two-player option. No final decision has been made yet.

Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, for PC and current and next-generation consoles.
