Elden Ring’s seamless co-op mod, crafted by the talented modder Yui, has been a fan favorite, allowing players to enjoy the game with friends without the typical multiplayer constraints. Now, Yui is turning their attention to Dark Souls 3, bringing their expertise and creativity to another beloved game.
FromSoftware’s approach to online multiplayer often adds an interesting layer to their challenging games, but it can also become a frustrating hurdle when you just want to dive into the adventure with a buddy. It seems Yui has made it their mission to smooth out these wrinkles. Known for their successful mods in Elden Ring and even Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Yui has now announced a new seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls 3, aiming to enhance the cooperative experience further.
In a video shared on YouTube, Yui demonstrates the mod alongside a friend as they navigate the formidable Lothric Castle. Be mindful of spoilers if you have yet to play the game and still plan to explore it. The video’s description outlines that this mod “removes all multiplayer boundaries and allows connections to persist after death,” meaning you can journey from the tutorial to the game’s conclusion with a friend without the hassle of resummoning or any interruptions. Plus, invasions are optional but included by default, and you can tweak enemy scaling to suit your preferences. It’s exactly the kind of flexibility many players desire!
Unfortunately, we don’t have a release date just yet, so it’ll require some patience. However, there’s something to look forward to—a new Elden Ring installment, Nightreign, is expected this year, featuring built-in seamless co-op, which could offer plenty of replayability as a boss-centric roguelite. Until then, keep an eye out for more updates from Yui!
