Attention Elden Ring Seamless Co-op Fans: Modder Returns with New Dark Souls 3 Mod!

One of the standout features in the Elden Ring modding community is undoubtedly the seamless co-op mod crafted by Yui. Now, this talented modder is turning their attention towards another FromSoftware classic, Dark Souls 3.

FromSoftware has its own distinct take on online multiplayer modes, which, in essence, aim to enhance the game’s experience by offering some relief. After all, there’s nothing quite like teaming up with another player to strategically dodge-roll your way to victory, rather than going it alone. However, actually being able to enjoy the game with friends can sometimes be a hassle, which is where Yui steps in. Known for their impressive seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring and also for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Yui has announced they’re now developing a similar experience for Dark Souls 3.

The modder recently showcased a video featuring the mod, playing alongside a friend as they navigate through the perilous territory of Lothric Castle. (Heads up—there might be spoilers if you’ve been meaning to play but haven’t managed to yet.) According to the video’s details, this mod eliminates all the usual multiplayer restrictions and ensures you stay connected even after you face the inevitable in-game death. You can journey with friends from the very start to finish without the hassle of constant resummoning or other interruptions. While invasions remain an option and are enabled by default, you have the flexibility to tweak enemy multiplayer scaling to match your preferences. It sounds like the perfect addition for fans looking to share every moment of Dark Souls 3 with friends.

That said, there’s no specific release date announced yet, so patience is key. But don’t worry—there’s something to tide you over. The latest Elden Ring installment, Nightreign, is expected to drop sometime this year and will come with built-in seamless co-op, though it’s focused predominantly on its replayable, boss-centric roguelite mechanics.
