Nightreign: 'Elden Ring' Without Poisonous Swamps

By BlakeFeb 25,2025

Elden Ring Nightreign: A Swamp-Free Cooperative Adventure?

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

While a swamp-like area was featured in the game's trailer, Kitao clarifies 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 and a known enthusiast of swamp environments. Miyazaki's influence is evident in the swamp locations present in both Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series, but his absence from Nightreign's development explains this omission.

Interestingly, a two-player mode, currently absent from the confirmed one-player and three-player options, is under consideration. Initial exclusion was justified by content balancing concerns. However, From Software is actively evaluating the possibility of adding this mode before the game's launch.

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