Elden Ring Nightreigndoesn’t officially have two-player co-op, but now there’s an unofficial mod for it. The newest Soulslike by FromSoftware breaks away from the previous titles by introducing a multiplayer element. The game takes place in theElden Ringregion of Limgrave, but instead of a grueling solo adventure, the game is meant to one or three players to take on.
The decision not to include a two-player option inNightreignhas been adivisive one among fans, since it limits the way friends can enjoy the game together. The newSeamless Co-opmod by Nexus Mods userYuiaddresses this issue byadding a fan-made two-player cooperative mode to the new title.
Nightreight 2-Player Mod Enters Rushed Alpha
High Demand Makes It Instantly Popular
Elden Ring Nightreignhas only been out for less than a day and only has a little over a dozen mods. However, the need for a two-person co-op is so great thatthere are already over 7,000 downloads of theSeamless Co-opmod,despite it being in a “rushed” alpha state. Modder Yui warns players that this means there will likely be bugs and issues that will get worked out over time, but for many fans, this tradeoff is still worth it.
TheSeamless Co-opmod bypasses FromSoftware’s servers and insteadallows modded players to pair up in groups of two (or three).This allows players to pair up with friends seamlessly through Steam. Note that this mod uses different save files from the main game, so you may’t get banned from the official servers since you won’t be connecting to them with the modded version of the game.
Elden Ring Nightreign Is Off To A Lackluster Start
Adding Two-Player Mode Might Not Save The Game
Not including a two-player mode isjust one of the issues thatNightreignis facing at launch.While the game reached over300,000 concurrent players at launch, it’s not doing as well as the studio’s other games.Nightreignis also FromSoftware’sworst-reviewed game on Steam, potentially forecasting trouble for the game’s future. The mixed response from fans of the other Soulslike games means that even adding a two-player option won’t save the title in the long run.
While theSeamless Co-opmod is still rough around the edges and struggling with many bugs, the mod’s creator plans to update it to be a truly seamless experience over time. And, untilElden Ring Nightreignadds its own two-player option, this mod might be the only way for couples and friends to play the game in pairs.
