Modding Community Proves Its Speed Yet Again
The Elden Ring modding community has once again demonstrated its incredible responsiveness. Shortly after Nightreign's launch, renowned FromSoftware modder Luke Yui showcased a functional duos mode modification, addressing one of players' most immediate requests.
A Sneak Peek at Potential Improvements
Yui, known for enhancing cooperative play in FromSoftware titles, shared a video demonstrating two-player functionality in Nightreign. While currently just a proof-of-concept (not publicly available), this modification bypasses the current restriction requiring either solo play or three-player groups.
Important technical details to note:
- The prototype operates outside official matchmaking servers
- It currently requires additional modifications to function
- The demonstration suggests technical feasibility for future solutions
Player Frustrations Highlight Design Oversight
The inability to play with just one partner has emerged as a significant pain point in Nightreign's early reception. Community forums and review sections show mounting feedback about this limitation.
Director Junya Ishizaki acknowledged this oversight in discussions with IGN, confirming the team is evaluating post-launch support options. Given the vocal player demand, a potential official solution may emerge.
Looking Beyond Mods: Official Support Potential
While Yui's mod shows what's technically possible, players are hopeful for official implementation to maintain:
- Server stability
- Achievement tracking
- Balanced gameplay experience
