It took mere hours, but Elden Ring Nightreign already has duos in development thanks to the modding icon behind Dark Souls and Armored Core co-op

The modding icon who added seamless co-op to several 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware hits - including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls Remastered, Armored Core 6, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the base Elden Ring - has now turned their gaze to the developer's new multiplayer-focused game, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring Nightreign.

Elden Ring Nightreign squeezes the open-world epic into tight, 45-minute-ish rounds designed around co-op play. But at the time of writing, you can only enter The Lands Between solo or in trios - there isn't an option to start a round with only two players. Hypothetically, the🐎 only way to play duos is to beg🐭in a match with three people and hope one of them leaves.

Enter modder Yui, who got a two-player Elden Ring Nightreign session up and running just hours after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the game's mammoth launch. In the description♛ for the short demonstration of the in-development mod, Yui mentions that the mod "runs without connecting to the matchmaking server, [so] it is possible to use additional mods during gameplay."

The modder also saysꦿ they "made it for fun," but hopefully it sees a proper release some day - if FromSoftware doesn't add a duos matchmaking option first, that is.

Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki recently admitted the team somewhat꧙ "neglected the duos aspect" while making the game since everyone was so focused on balancing trios to a tee. The lack of duos hasn't gone unnoticed, though, as Nightr෴eign's Steam user reviews are the second-lowest in FromSoft history.

Of course, ꩲsimply adding a two-player mode and balancing the game around two players are different things entirely (the latter probably takes a lot more time to get just right), but I can imagine it's worth it for th💧e couples who want to spend their date nights in Elden Ring Nightreign without getting interrupted by a third-wheeler.
