From Software confirms plans for Duos mode for Elden Ring Nightreign

Elden Ring Nightreign has been off to a good start sales wise, despite being the lowest-rated From Software game in years. Currently, players are awaiting balance updates to make the game more playable solo, but beyond that, fans are also waiting for From Software to add a duo mode.

Ahead of launch, Elden Ring Nightreign director, Junya Ishizaki, said that the lack of two-player mode was an ‘oversight' during development. Now, From Software has confirmed that it will be making an official duos mode for the game, allowing for teams of two players.

The announcement was made as part of From Software's thank you post, after the game amassed 3.5 million players. Here is the full quote: “In addition to the DLC releasing later this year, new additions will be gradually implemented, including enhanced fights against existing Nightlords starting this month, as well as Duo Expeditions at a later date.”

There is no date for Duos yet, but considering a modder has already implemented two-player co-op, it shouldn't take From Software too long to figure out from a technical perspective. At present, Elden Ring Nightreign can only be played either solo, or in a group of three players.

KitGuru Says: From Software tends to focus on single-player games, so I'm not too surprised there have been some initial oversights in multiplayer game design. Hopefully the studio learns from the launch and adapts quickly.
