Elden Ring Nightreign devs confirm they’re working on a duos mode

Three players fight a dragon in Elden Ring Nightreign

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.

While Ishizaki had said the studio had been considering implementing duo support, players now have confirmation (though no set timeframe). It’ll be a relief to some Nightfarers, as three-player co-op has led to pairs awkwardly trying to find a third to join.

But the Night is far from over.
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.
Thank you for your support.— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) June 3, 2025

Originally, Ishizaki said in December 2024 that the lack of duos was “was largely a game balancing decision.” We’ll have to wait and see if Nightreign also receives some gameplay balances when a duos mode launches to ensure it’s not as difficult as a solo expedition is. Speaking of which, Elden Ring Nightreign has just received a patch to make solo play more bearable for Nightfarers — but only a wee bit.
