Elden Ring’s buzz-worthy mod, crafted by the talented Yui, is making waves again, but this time they’re taking on Dark Souls 3.
There’s quite a lot to unpack about FromSoftware’s multiplayer design—it’s a clear strategy to soften the game’s infamous difficulty. I mean, what’s better than a lone hero rolling and dodging to success? How about two of them? However, playing alongside friends isn’t always the smoothest experience. That’s where Yui steps in. Known for the famed seamless co-op mod in Elden Ring and having worked on a similar tweak for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Yui is now turning their expertise towards creating a seamless co-op experience for Dark Souls 3.
Yui recently dropped a video showcasing this mod while playing through Lothric Castle with a buddy. Fair warning: if you haven’t played through Dark Souls 3 yet but promise yourself you’ll get to it, there might be some spoilers ahead. The video description outlines that the mod “removes all multiplayer boundaries and maintains connections after death. You can journey through the game with friends from start to finish, enjoying synchronized progress without needing to resummon, and with no interruptions. While invasions are set to optional and active by default, you have the power to tweak the enemy scaling in multiplayer to suit your taste.” It sounds like a dream come true for fans eager for a hassle-free multiplayer experience!
Currently, there isn’t a specified release date for Yui’s latest handiwork. Patience will be key here. In the meantime, fans can look forward to a new Elden Ring installment later this year, titled Nightreign, which actually includes integrated seamless co-op gameplay. This one might be appealing particularly for its replayability as a boss-focused roguelite.
Stay tuned for what Yui brings next and get ready to dive back into the world of Dark Souls 3 with your friends like never before!
