FromSoftware announced via X on Tuesday that Elden Ring Nightreign will officially receive a two-player mode “at a later date.” This comes after director Junya Ishizaki admitted the developer “overlooked” a duos mode during development. The lack of two-player co-op has led to some frustration from players.

You then have to quickly defeat mobs, find gear, and level up before the storm closes...
