FromSoftware\u2019s strange but successful multiplayer experiment, Elden Ring Nightreign<\/a>, is finally getting a duos option nearly two months after launch. The highly requested feature will be added in an update arriving next week. <\/p>\n

The Most Sought After Elden Ring Sword Has A Storied History<\/p>\n

Elden Ring Nightreign\u2019s strange<\/a>, Fortnite-like gameplay and run-based structure might be unlike anything seen in past FromSoft titles, but it nonetheless offers up an intense, highly replayable, and unique online RPG experience. However, when Nightreign<\/a>\u00a0launched in May, people were confused by the lack of a duos mode. But that option is coming soon. <\/p>\n

On July 25<\/a>, FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring Nightreign\u2019s 1.02 patch will add a duos option, letting \u201ctwo kindred souls\u201d play together. The patch is set to arrive on July 30. <\/p>\n

Currently in Elden Ring Nightreign, there are two ways to play. You can either play solo, which is tough and not something our resident Nightreign sicko Ethan Gach recommends, or you can play with two other people. So if you and a friend want to hop into Elden Ring Nightreign, you either have to deal with a random third player or convince someone you know to play with you. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit wild that it didn\u2019t launch with a duos option, as it seems like something obvious that players would want. In fact, within 48 hours of launch<\/a>, a modder added such an option to Nightreign on PC. So why didn\u2019t FromSoftware include duos right away? Turns out, they just sort of didn\u2019t think about it. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we\u2019re very sorry about that,\u201d Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki told IGN<\/a>. \u201cAs we said before, we set out to make this a multiplayer co-op game for three players, balanced for three players, so that was the main focus, and it\u2019s at the core of Nightreign.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, starting next week, you and your best buddy will be able to play online together, without a rando, and get killed by tough bosses as a power couple instead of a clunky trio. <\/p>\n
