Elden Ring Nightreign, the upcoming cooperative action game, will notably omit the poisonous swamps characteristic of many FromSoftware titles. This was confirmed by product manager Yasuhiro Kitao during a recent press interview. While a swamp-like area appeared in the trailer, Kitao clarified it's a distinct location. The absence of the traditional poisonous swamps is attributed to the non-participation of Hidetaka Miyazaki, FromSoftware's president, known for his fondness of incorporating such environments into games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki's absence from Nightreign's development accounts for this omission.

Interestingly, a two-player mode, currently absent from the announced one-player and three-player options, is under consideration. Developers initially excluded it due to content balancing difficulties. However, FromSoftware is actively exploring the possibility of adding this mode before launch.
Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on May 30, 2025, for PC and current and next-generation consoles.
