Elden Ring Nightreign is adding two-player co-op

Elden Ring Nightreign is finally getting a two-player mode. FromSoftware announced on Friday that it’s adding “Duo Expeditions” in a patch coming on July 30th, allowing you to take on enemies across Limveld with one other friend.

Since Elden Ring Nightreign’s launch in May, the title has only let you play by yourself or in a group of three. Elden Ring Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki told IGN last year that “this was largely a game balancing decision.” The move disappointed some players (myself included) who weren’t able to find one more friend to form a trio, and didn’t want to play with a random teammate online.

In a May interview with IGN, Ishizaki apologized for not including a two-player mode, saying the option was “overlooked and neglected.” He also said the team would look into adding support for two players in the future, and now that has finally arrived. Along with two-player support, next week’s 1.02 patch will also add updates to the game’s user interface, such as more Relic filtering options.

Elden Ring Nightreign costs $39.99 and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
