Elden Ring’s Miyazaki cool with co-op mod, hints at future plans

Jun 17, 2024 8:57 AM

FromSoftware’s director Hidetaka Miyazaki has voiced no opposition to the popular seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring. Unlike the game’s traditional multiplayer system, which involves summoning friends and dealing with interruptions, the mod allows for a smoother overall experience. Miyazaki mentioned in an interview that while the current co-op system is designed for casual, drop-in/drop-out gameplay, future games might explore more dedicated co-op mechanics.

Will Elden Ring's seamless co-op mod be banned?

As of now, there are no indications that Elden Ring's seamless co-op mod will be banned. Miyazaki has expressed a neutral stance, suggesting potential openness to similar features in future titles.

Elden Ring, a highly acclaimed action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, has been praised for its expansive lore and challenging gameplay. Set in the dark fantasy world of the Lands Between, the game combines elements of open-world exploration with fantastical battles, deeply engaging lore, and intricate character development. The addition of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC further expands the universe, promising new content for dedicated fans.
