In a recent interview, director Junya Ishizaki shared exciting details about the upcoming game, *Elden Ring Nightreign*. He revealed that the game's map will undergo "significant landscape changes" through procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests. This dynamic environment aims to transform the map into a "gigantic dungeon," offering fresh exploration opportunities with 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 innovative approach not only diversifies gameplay but also encourages players to strategize differently for the final boss battle each time. By the end of the third in-game day, players must decide which boss they will confront. This crucial decision allows players to tailor their preparation and explore specific locations on the map that could provide strategic 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 emphasized that the inclusion of roguelike elements in *Elden Ring Nightreign* is not merely an attempt to "chase the trend." Instead, it aims to "compress" the role-playing experience, resulting in a more dynamic and engaging gameplay environment.
