Elden Ring will see the return of the Poison Swamps

Elden Ring will see the return of the dreaded Poison Marshes: an old passion of the game director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, rediscovered during the development of the game. Difficult to understand whether to be happy or not.

After talking about the open world and the challenges it entails in Elden Ring, Miyazaki also exchanged a few words with Game Informer, discussing his unusual love for the swamps deadly.

"I understand that players think differently when faced with these kinds of scenarios," said Miyazaki, "but during the development of the game I rediscovered my love for the Poison Swamps. I know that users think differently, but when I realize I'm in the middle of creating a swamp, I can't resist: it just happens. "

" If we talk about the history and setting of Elden Ring, there is of cert something particularly horrible that exists and persists in this world ", explained the Japanese game director to the microphones of the magazine.

" I will pronounce the name of this plague, so you know what to expect: it is called Scarlet Rot and is something slightly different from poison or from toxicity, but I hope you are eager to find out. "

Elden Ring director says he can't help making poison swamps: 'It just happens'

Flagrantly defying pleas From GamesRadar's Austin Wood, FromSoftware added not one, but several poison swamps to Elden Ring, and apparently it's because director Hidetaka Miyazaki simply can't help himself.

Miyazaki sat down with GameInformer for an interview and the subject of the Souls series' infamous deadly swamps came up. Even though he says he's aware of public opinion about the swamps, he admits to a newfound passion for making them. 'When making the game I rediscovered my love for making poison swamps,' Miyazaki said. 'I know how people feel about them, but you know, suddenly I realize I'm in the middle of making one and I just can't help myself. It just happens.'

So, FromSoftware isn't just reluctantly keeping poison swamps around just to be franchise faithful, it's doubling down on them. In fact, Miyazaki says there's a whole new deadly substance in Elden Ring you'll have to worry about called Scarlet Rot which he describes as 'something that is especially horrible.' Oh, he also hopes 'you look forward to it.' To be fair though, if you're a big FromSoftware fan you're probably already somewhat used to especially horrible things in games.

Despite all this, you needn't be too put off if you're a newcomer to Souls games, as Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao recently said the upcoming adventure is 'perfect' for folks that get stressed about by games like Dark Souls. Miyazaki also said recently that he expects more people will finish Elden Ring compared to Dark Souls.

Here's Miyazaki talking about how Elden Ring was influenced by Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
