Elden Ring’s standout modification has undoubtedly been the seamless co-op mod created by Yui. Now, this talented modder has turned their attention to Dark Souls 3.
FromSoftware’s approach to online multiplayer often sparks conversation. Their design seemingly aims to ease the journey slightly by doubling the dodge-rolling, silent protagonists. But, in reality, teaming up with friends can be a complicated process. This is where Yui steps in. Known for crafting the beloved seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring and even creating a similar mod for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Yui has announced a new project: a seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls 3.
In a video shared by Yui, they have demonstrated the mod while playing alongside a friend, journeying through Lothric Castle. A heads-up to those who haven’t yet dived into the game—spoilers might be lurking in the footage. According to the video’s description, this mod eliminates all multiplayer boundaries. It ensures uninterrupted play with consistent connections, even after death. Friends can band together from the game’s start to its finish, experiencing synchronized progress without the hassle of summoning mechanics or interruptions. Invasions remain optional and can be toggled on or off. Plus, enemy difficulty can be adjusted to fit your taste. Honestly, it sounds like the kind of enhancement every co-op enthusiast dreams of!
As of now, there’s no word on when this mod might be released, so patience is key. On a brighter note, for those itching for some fresh Elden Ring action, the new game Nightreign is expected to launch sometime this year. It promises the same seamless co-op experience within its boss-centric, roguelite design.
