Does Elden Ring Nightreign Support Duos? Answered

Elden Ring Nightreign is the first co-op-focused experience from FromSoftware, allowing players to tackle all manner of challenging enemies along with their friends. While the roguelite can be played solo, the sheer difficulty baked into its three-day gameplay cycle quickly makes it apparent that the title is built for teams. The messaging around the game has also emphasized the need for a trio of Nightfarers, leading to a common question surrounding support for duos. So, if you’re looking for the answer, check out whether Elden Night Nightreign supports duos here.

Can Elden Ring Nightreign Be Played in Duos

To clear your doubts straightaway, no, Elden Ring Nightreign does not support duos. This means that you’ll need at least three players to queue up for any expedition, unless you’re playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo. During expeditions, if one player abandons the game, you’ll technically be playing the game as part of a duo with your remaining teammate.

However, the devs haven’t implemented any balancing tweaks to support two-player expeditions. If you accidentally end up in a two-player team, the odds will be stacked against you.

Speaking to IGN on the topic of omitting a two-player mode, game director Junya Ishizaki had this to say:

The simple answer is that this is simply something that was overlooked during development as just a two-player option, so we’re very sorry about that.” He added, “We kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect, but this is something that we are looking at and considering for post-launch support as well.

Based on his comments, we might see duos support added as a feature in the future, but until then, players can use other solutions.

Elden Ring Nightreign Seamless Co-Op Mod Explained

Modders wasted no time in tinkering with Nightreign’s co-op mechanics. And they ultimately concocted a ‘Seamless Co-Op Mod‘ that lets players run through the whole game with their friends without any restrictions.

Using this mod, players can easily play matches as part of duos and even team up with five other players. Moreover, the mod turns each run into a session, meaning you can die and safely respawn at a Site of Grace instead of losing all your progress like in the vanilla version.

The mod is only available on PC, so Steam players can begin trying it out. Xbox and PlayStation users will need to wait until FromSoftware officially implements a patch for duos support.
