Elden Ring fans who loved the seamless co-op mod by the talented modder Yui will be thrilled to know that they’re diving into Dark Souls 3 with their newest project.
FromSoftware’s challenging games often use online multiplayer to subtly ease players through their adventures. Let’s face it, nothing beats the satisfaction of having a fellow silent protagonist at your side, both dodge-rolling to victory. However, gathering your friends for a co-op session can be a bit of a hassle. That’s where Yui comes in. Yui is well-known for creating the beloved seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring and has already worked magic on Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. Now, they’re channeling their skills into crafting a similar experience for Dark Souls 3.
Yui recently showcased the mod in action through a video where they team up with a friend to traverse the daunting Lothric Castle. Be warned, if you haven’t yet tackled Dark Souls 3, the video does contain some spoilers! The description of the mod highlights its impressive features: it removes multiplayer boundaries and ensures connections remain intact even after death. Players can enjoy a cooperative journey from the game’s intro to its climactic ending with synchronized progress—no more tedious resummoning and interruptions. Plus, while invasions are on by default, they’re entirely optional, and you have the freedom to tweak enemy difficulty scaling as you wish. It sounds like a mod that truly enhances the co-op experience!
Unfortunately, there’s no release date for this exciting modification just yet, so enthusiasts will have to exercise a bit of patience. But on the bright side, there’s a new Elden Ring installment, Nightreign, slated for release this year. This title promises to feature built-in seamless co-op gameplay, blending together a boss-focused roguelite experience that should keep fans entertained for hours.
