One should never underestimate the persistence and creativity of modders. *Elden Ring: Nightreign* officially launched, and within just 24 hours, a well-known FromSoftware game modder has already showcased a working Duos mode mod for the game.
Known for creating popular co-op mods for titles like *Elden Ring* and *Armored Core VI*, modder Luke Yui shared a short video on their YouTube channel demonstrating a two-player mod for *Nightreign*. This mod enables two Nightfarers to play together seamlessly, bypassing the default limitation that only allows solo or three-player co-op.
It’s worth noting that this is currently just a demonstration and not a public release. Yui clarified that the mod operates without connecting to the official matchmaking server. While this opens up possibilities for using other gameplay-enhancing mods simultaneously, it also means players won’t be utilizing the standard online infrastructure. Whether this mod evolves into a full-fledged solution remains to be seen.
*Elden Ring: Nightreign* was designed to be played either alone or in a trio, leaving many players disappointed that a two-player option wasn't included. For those who prefer playing with one friend, the current setup can be inconvenient—either go solo or find a third player through matchmaking. What may seem like a minor issue can quickly become frustrating for players seeking a more personalized co-op experience.
This concern has surfaced prominently in early community feedback. The absence of a dedicated duos mode has been cited in several negative reviews, and forums like the *Elden Ring* subreddit reflect growing demand for such a feature. As one user humorously noted, the *Nightreign*-specific subreddit was starting to resemble “a threesome sub,” filled with players actively searching for one extra teammate.
In response to these concerns, *Elden Ring: Nightreign* director Junya Ishizaki admitted to IGN that the team had "kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect." However, he confirmed that the development team is aware of the demand and is exploring potential solutions for post-launch updates. Given the level of interest, it's clear that addressing this omission would significantly enhance the multiplayer experience for many fans.
