Elden Ring's Nightreign Swamps Poison-Free

Elden Ring Nightreign: A Poisonous Swamp-Free Adventure?

From Software's upcoming cooperative title, Elden Ring Nightreign, will notably omit the signature poisonous swamps frequently featured in their games. This revelation comes directly from Yasuhiro Kitao, the project's product manager, during a recent press interview.

While a swamp-like area was depicted in the Elden Ring Nightreign trailer, Kitao clarified 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, known for his fondness of incorporating these challenging environments into games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki's absence from Nightreign's development accounts for 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 due to content balancing difficulties. From Software is currently evaluating the possibility of adding this mode, but a final decision remains pending.

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