Elden Ring Nightreign, the upcoming cooperative action game, will notably omit the poisonous swamps characteristic of From Software titles. This was confirmed by product manager Yasuhiro Kitao during a recent press interview.
While a swamp-like area was featured 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, From Software's president, known for his fondness of incorporating such environments into games like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki was not involved in Nightreign's development.

Interestingly, a two-player mode remains a possibility. Currently, only one-player and three-player modes are confirmed, with the exclusion of a two-player mode initially cited as a content balancing issue. From Software is actively considering adding this option, but a final decision is pending.
Elden Ring Nightreign launches May 30th, 2025, on PC and current and next-gen consoles.
