While Elden Ring Nightreign has been received mostly positively on the combat side, there are some dated multiplayer and matchmaking issues. One of those is the inability to play the game in duos, despite the game having solo and trio options.
But, there is some good news!
FromSoftware has confirmed that a duos mode will release on July 30, 2025, on all platforms. This is around two months after launch.
Back before launch, speaking to IGN, the game’s director has already said they “overlooked and neglected” the duos option, focusing instead on three players. This can also be seen in how difficult the solo option is. The studio has already made several balancing tweaks and changes to improve the solo mode. So, you can expect a lot of those tweaks to be implemented into the two-player mode to create a much smoother and better balanced experience.
Despite FromSoftware not supporting the mode yet, one modder has already implemented a duos mode. Luke Yui previously created co-op mods for Elden Ring and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.
The mod can be seen in action on their YouTube channel, where they showed it off:
Therefore, we will hopefully see another mod or an official duos option from FromSoftware release sooner rather than later. We will keep this article updated with the latest from the developer as and when we hear it.
