Elden Ring is a solo experience, but it offers multiplayer where you can call in help for tough battles and PvP where you can invade other players’ bases. A new mod will change that. LukeYui, a well-known FromSoft modder, has been working on a full co-op mode for Elden Ring, which will be released on Nexus Mods on Friday, May 27.
Among the features of the co-op mod are:
- Joining forces in fight anyplace in the game.
- It lasts till the player dies.
- You both have your own horses.
- Progression and item gain are shared.
- You can increase the chaos by activating friendly fire.
- When you die during a boss encounter, you can watch your co-op teammate.
- Your party can have a maximum of four players.
- With more players, enemies will get more difficult.
The mod promises it won’t get you banned because it doesn’t use FromSoftware’s multiplayer servers and operates off a different launcher.
This could cause problems in practice, but if everything works as intended, it should be a fun transformation.
FromSoftware has never done full co-op despite having co-op aspects. Maybe it’s a balancing issue or the game’s age, but I’m excited to attempt the beta.
I’ve never liked exploring an open environment as much as I did Elden Ring’s since Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls Online is Bethesda’s evolution. Too many games mistake a desire for open world co-op for an MMO when all gamers want is to play with friends.
