If you’ve been waiting for duo mode playthroughs in Elden Ring Nightreign since it’s release, you don’t have to wait any longer as FromSoftware has finally released patch 1.02 for it’s multiplayer co-op title which will let you and your friend jump right into the game taking on bosses and all kinds of foes together without needing another player to fill in.
Elden Ring Nightreign has featured Solo playing and Three-player Co-op since it came out in May, and the game wasn’t really made for a two player experience from the ground up, as confirmed by the developers themselves. So it’s definitely a great thing to see FromSoftware going out of it’s way to provide a duo experience for it’s players as it’s pretty rare for the devs to actually care about the players on this level, which is always a great thing.
The patch is out now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S so if you’re playing Elden Ring Nightreign, make sure to update your game as soon as you can.
And besides adding the two player mode, the new patch also includes multiple UI adjustments and improvements, changes due to the Earth shifting in the land of Limveld and a plethora of bug fixes.
Check out some of the patch notes below:
