In a recent interview, director Junya Ishizaki unveiled exciting details about the upcoming game, Elden Ring Nightreign. He shared that the game's map will undergo "significant landscape changes in the form of procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests." This innovative approach aims to transform the map into what feels like a "gigantic dungeon," providing players with fresh exploration opportunities on each playthrough.
We wanted the map itself to feel like a gigantic dungeon, allowing players to explore it in new ways each time. At the end of the third in-game day, players will need to choose a boss to face. - Junya Ishizaki
This dynamic map design not only diversifies gameplay but also encourages players to strategize differently for the final boss battle in each playthrough. By the end of the third in-game day, players must make a crucial decision on which boss to confront. This choice influences their preparation and exploration, enabling them to seek out specific locations that offer advantages against their chosen adversary.

Upon choosing a boss, players may consider the best way to prepare for the fight, which could alter their route on the map. We wanted to give players that freedom— for example, deciding, 'I need to acquire poisonous weapons to counter this boss.' - Junya Ishizaki
Ishizaki clarified that the integration of roguelike elements into Elden Ring Nightreign is not merely following a trend but a deliberate choice to "compress" the role-playing experience, enhancing the game's dynamism.
