Poison-Free Nightreign to Grace Elden Ring

Elden Ring Nightreign: A Poisonous Swamp-Free Experience

From Software's upcoming cooperative title, Elden Ring Nightreign, will notably lack the poisonous swamps characteristic of many of the studio's previous 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 such environments into games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series.

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 balancing challenge. From Software is currently evaluating the possibility of adding this mode, but no final decision has been reached.

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