There will be a dynamic map with changing terrain in Elden Ring Nightreign

Elden Ring Nightreign: A Roguelike Twist on Exploration

Director Junya Ishizaki recently unveiled significant changes coming to Elden Ring Nightreign's map. The game will feature procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests, drastically altering the landscape with each playthrough.

"We wanted the map itself to feel like a gigantic dungeon, allowing players to explore it in new ways each time," Ishizaki explained. "At the end of the third in-game day, players will need to choose a boss to face."

This innovative approach adds a roguelike element, encouraging diverse gameplay and strategic boss battle preparation. By the third in-game day, players must select their final boss, influencing their subsequent exploration and equipment choices.

"Upon choosing a boss, players may consider the best way to prepare for the fight, which could alter their route on the map," Ishizaki continued. "We wanted to give players that freedom—for example, deciding, 'I need to acquire poisonous weapons to counter this boss.'"

Ishizaki stressed that this roguelike integration isn't a mere trend-following exercise. Instead, it serves to condense the RPG experience, resulting in a more dynamic and replayable adventure.
