Elden Ring Nightreign, the upcoming cooperative action game, will notably omit the poisonous swamps characteristic of From Software titles. This revelation comes directly from product manager Yasuhiro Kitao, who confirmed the absence in a recent press interview.
While a swamp-like area was featured in the Elden Ring Nightreign trailer, Kitao clarified it represents a distinct location. He attributed the lack of traditional poisonous swamps to the absence of Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software's president, known for his fondness of such environments, evident in both Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki did not participate in Nightreign's development.

Interestingly, a potential two-player mode is under consideration. Currently, only one-player and three-player modes have been announced, with the exclusion of a two-player mode initially attributed to content balancing complexities. From Software is actively evaluating the feasibility of adding this option, though no final decision has been reached.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, for PC and current and last-generation consoles.
