Nightreign’s Map and Scale: What’s Beneath the Surface?
Despite Miyazaki’s comments about Nightreign’s potentially more limited map, it’s still possible that Elden Ring Items the game will surprise players with a more extensive area than expected. The announcement of Shadow of the Erdtree had initially downplayed the game’s scale, only for the world to be much larger upon release. It's conceivable that Nightreign’s map might be similarly downplayed, with more than just the Limveld region hidden beneath the surface. The underground could still play a pivotal role in connecting various sections of the game world, maintaining the “hidden” and mysterious atmosphere that defines FromSoftware’s games.

While the randomized map layout of Limveld will surely provide a new experience with each playthrough, the incorporation of underground or procedurally generated zones could give Nightreign an additional layer of complexity and lore.

Final Thoughts
Ultimately, the question of whether Elden Ring Nightreign will live up to the original’s depth depends on how much the game can expand beyond its surface-level design. While Limveld’s potential is intriguing, the inclusion of underground zones would not only honor the legacy of Elden Ring but could also elevate Nightreign by adding a layer of mystery, exploration, and challenge that many fans have come to expect.

If the game does venture underground in some capacity, it would be a clear homage to FromSoftware’s earlier design choices, drawing inspiration from both Elden Ring and Bloodborne’s procedural generation. However, if Limveld remains solely overground, it might feel like an incomplete Elden Ring experience—especially if the allure of the Eternal Cities and hidden depths is absent. Fans are certainly hoping that the developers will recognize the importance of these underground features, or at the very least, introduce a compelling alternative to best place to buy elden ring items fill that gap.
