Elden Ring Nightreign's director, Junya Ishizaki, recently unveiled significant gameplay changes. The game will feature dramatically altered landscapes, including procedurally generated volcanoes, swamps, and forests, transforming the map into a massive, ever-changing dungeon.
The map itself will 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 diversifies gameplay and encourages strategic boss battle preparation. By the third in-game day, players must select their final boss, influencing their subsequent exploration and item acquisition. This allows for tailored strategies; for example, a player might prioritize acquiring poison weapons to counter a specific boss.

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 roguelike elements aren't a trend-chasing attempt but rather a method to condense the RPG experience, resulting in a more dynamic and replayable game.
