In the eagerly anticipated cooperative action game, Elden Ring Nightreign, fans of From Software's notorious poisonous swamps will be disappointed to learn that these iconic areas won't be making an appearance. This revelation comes directly from the game's product manager, Yasuhiro Kitao, during a recent discussion with journalists. While a similar location did appear in the game's trailer, Kitao clarified that it is an entirely different setting. The absence of these swamps is attributed to the lack of involvement from Hidetaka Miyazaki, From Software's head and a well-known enthusiast of swamp environments, who played a significant role in including such areas in both Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series but did not participate in the development of Elden Ring Nightreign.

However, there is exciting news for those looking forward to different cooperative experiences. Elden Ring Nightreign might introduce an additional two-player mode. Currently, the game has been announced to feature both one-player and three-player modes, with the developers citing content balancing challenges as the reason for initially excluding a two-player option. From Software is actively considering the inclusion of this mode, though a final decision is still pending.
Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch on May 30, 2025, and will be available on PC as well as two generations of consoles, promising a thrilling experience for fans across multiple platforms.
