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

Elden Ring Nightreign's director, Junya Ishizaki, recently unveiled a game-changing feature: a dynamically altering map. Ishizaki stated that the game world will feature "substantial landscape transformations," including procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests.

"We aimed to create a map that feels like a colossal dungeon, offering unique exploration experiences with each playthrough. By the end of the third in-game day, players must select a boss to confront." - Junya Ishizaki

This design choice isn't just about gameplay variety; it's about strategic depth. The boss selection, made on the third in-game day, forces players to plan ahead, potentially influencing their exploration routes to gain advantages.

"After selecting a boss, players will strategize their preparation, impacting their path across the map. We wanted to provide players with this freedom – for instance, deciding, 'I need to obtain poisonous weapons to counter this boss.'" - Junya Ishizaki

Ishizaki clarified that the roguelike elements aren't a trend-chasing tactic. Instead, they serve to "intensify" the RPG experience, resulting in a more engaging and replayable game.
