In an interview with PC Gamer, director Junya Ishizaki revealed that Elden Ring Nightreign will feature massive landscape changes, including procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests. These dynamic environments will ensure that each playthrough is unique and challenging.
A Map That’s a Dungeon
“We wanted the map itself to be a giant dungeon where players could explore new paths each time they played through,” Ishizaki stated. At the end of the third day, players will face a crucial decision: choosing which boss to fight.
Strategy and Exploration
After choosing a boss, players might develop a strategy for the upcoming battle, which will significantly affect how they explore the map. “We wanted to give players the freedom to decide,” Ishizaki explained. “This time, I need to get a poison weapon for this boss.”
Roguelike and Co-op Elements
Elden Ring Nightreign introduces roguelike and co-op elements to offer a variety of gameplay experiences. However, it remains true to FromSoftware’s tradition by retaining the infamous poison swamps. These swamps will apply the poison debuff, staying true to the challenging nature of FromSoftware games.
An Anticipated Release
Elden Ring Nightreign is scheduled for release this year, promising fans a new and exciting adventure in the Elden Ring universe. With its innovative features and classic elements, it is poised to captivate both new players and long-time fans alike.
