Elden Ring Nightreign Mod Lets You Play With a Friend Now

Jun 01, 2025 4:37 PM

A new two-player mod for Elden Ring Nightreign has been created by Luke Yui, allowing players to team up as a duo instead of the game's default three-player fireteam configuration. Released shortly after Nightreign's launch, the mod is designed for players looking for a more intimate co-op experience. Yui, known for his previous work on the Seamless Co-op mod for Elden Ring and Sekiro, stated that this mod will continue to be developed further. Meanwhile, FromSoftware is addressing player feedback regarding the game's matchmaking challenges, suggesting players restart the matchmaking if they're having trouble finding partners. The developers acknowledged the need for a two-player option in a future update, indicating they may expand on this feature post-launch.

Will a proper two-player mode be added to Elden Ring Nightreign?

FromSoftware has indicated that they are considering a two-player mode for Elden Ring Nightreign, as they recognized the need for more flexible multiplayer options due to player feedback.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone multiplayer spin-off of the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware. Building on the rich lore and challenging gameplay that the original title is known for, Nightreign offers a new co-op experience that encourages team play while also attracting the attention of modders eager to enhance the multiplayer aspects of the game.

Love that modders are already tweaking Nightreign to fit different playstyles—shows how passionate the community is. FromSoft taking notes and considering official two-player support just proves player feedback really does matter.

Nice to see modders like Luke Yui stepping in to fill the gaps while FromSoft catches up—always cool when the community enhances the experience. Hopefully, the official two-player mode keeps that same intimate co-op vibe when it finally drops.
