Elden Ring’s Creator Just Might Consider Seamless Co-Op for Future Games

Jun. 17, 2024

Mod support with games isn’t anything new. Within a few months of the launch of Elden Ring, the community introduced a mod that has since become extremely popular with seamless co-op. The mod removed the game’s multiplayer restrictions from limited areas, allowing players to co-op through the main game. The mod has even soared in popularity amidst the advent of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Naturally, players agree that while the conventional SoulsBorne co-op system in Elden Ring is sound,seamless co-op spices things upand makes it more fun.

And surprisingly enough,FromSoftware’s President Hidetaka Miyazakialso agrees with this. The president said the same in an interview withPC Gamerwhen asked about his thoughts on the mod.

Miyazaki claims it isn’t some developers who oppose or want to downplay. He explains how the developers wanted the co-op to be this casual system of dropping in, defeating the boss, and then moving on. Miyazaki also claims they want toexplore other ideas for co-opin their future games, such as seamless co-op, where players can drop in and drop out anytime.

Honestly, I don’t blame him. One look at the seamless co-op page onNexus Modswill show you just how widespread and popular the mod is. It currently sits at1,700,000+ downloads, with over 11,000,000+ views. That is a pretty crazy number. Most players who’ve played and finished their various NG+ runs in Elden Ring download and play with this mod for those fun days.

I’ve considered downloading and playing with seamless co-op, but it never happened. That is a story for another day. Let us know if you’ve played with seamless co-op in Elden Ring in the comments below.
