    New Elden Ring Nightreign mod already adds two-player co-op to the game


    While you can play Elden Ring Nightreign solo, Fromsoftware designed it as a three-player co-op experience. You’re supposed to squad up with friends or randoms online and drop into the land of Limveld, working together to get stronger before taking on one of the eight Nightlords and coming out victorious. If you were hoping to play as a duo, however, you can’t. That is, until now, as one of the most prolific Elden Ring and Dark Souls modders around has dropped an alpha version of a Nightreign two-player co-op mod, meaning you don’t have to wait for a third wheel to join your game.

    ‘Yui’ is by far one of the most recognized Fromsoftware modders out there. They’ve revamped the original Elden Ring and multiple Dark Souls games with Seamless Co-op, which makes playing online with friends infinitely easier. With these mods installed, your multiplayer sessions remain uninterrupted by bosses, fog walls, and death, meaning you can keep playing without repeatedly needing to rejoin each other. Now, Yui has brought this modding experience to Elden Ring Nightreign.

    Playing Elden Ring Nightreign solo is doable, but Yui’s latest iteration of Seamless Co-op lets you go through a run with just one other person instead of two. It’s currently in a rushed alpha state, meaning you’re more than likely going to experience bugs, but it still works. Yui also says they’ll expand it in the future, but notes that for now it only supports two or three player lobbies and has mod compatibility. Using Yui’s mod in the RPG won’t get you banned from playing Nightreign online, either, because it prevents you from connecting to Fromsoftware’s matchmaking servers and uses different save files – so keep that in mind.

    As for official two-player co-op in Nightreign, this is actually something Fromsoftware is already looking into. Earlier this year the game’s director, Junya Ishizaki, said balancing runs for just two players is “something we are considering.” There’s no promise that it’ll come to the game at any point, but I’m glad to hear that Fromsoftware is at least aware of the community’s demand for it.

    If you’re playing Nightreign on PC, you’ll find Yui’s latest Seamless Co-op mod right here. Make sure you read all the installation instructions before downloading, though.

    As you run through Limveld, we’ve got a breakdown of all the Elden Ring Nightreign bosses and how to beat them. We also have everything you need to know about the Elden Ring Nightreign map, like where to go as soon as you drop in.

  • Festive Top Fives: Two-player games

    Festive Top Fives: Two-player games


    Maybe you’re planning a low-key Christmas for two this year… or maybe you’re after a back-up in case the big get-together doesn’t quite go to plan. Great games for two players are always useful to have around in our experience, and they make excellent gifts too! In our final ‘top five’ of the year, here are some of our current favourites…

    Bridget is both a neat and addictive strategy game and a lovely object in its own right. With simple rules (just build a path of your colour from one side of the board the other while blocking your opponent), addictive gameplay, and tactile, appealing pieces, this is a game that will be enjoyed by new and experienced gamers alike.

    Hive is a near-perfect two-player strategy game in our humble opinion! There’s no luck involved here: purely decisions made by players, who take turns to either add a piece to the hive or move a piece they’ve already added, with the aim of blocking in their opponent’s queen bee so that she is eventually surrounded by pieces. Durable, compact (even more so if you go for the pocket-sized version) and extremely replayable, this game will really stand the test of time.

    Azul: Summer Pavilion is technically a game for up to four players, but it works so well for just two that we thought it was worthy of a mention here. All three of the Azul series are excellent games for two people, but this one just might be our favourite given focus on individual strategy rather than blocking your opponents (try the Stained Glass of Sintra version if that’s more your bag!). A gorgeous, medium-weight abstract strategy game that’s as interesting to play as it is beautiful.

    Thrive is a fairly recent addition to our collection, but after testing it out we’re very keen to play it some more! The concept here is very simple: aim to capture your opponent’s pieces until they have only one left, then you’ve won the game. All the pieces are identical to begin with, able to move only one space forward. However, on each turn as well as moving a piece, you modify two pieces of your choice by adding pegs, giving them more movement options on future turns. Elegant in every way as well as novel in concept, we’re very impressed with this one.

    And now for something completely different… Pucket is a frenetic, hyper-competitive dexterity game about flicking wooden pucks across a board using elastic. Players both start with eight pucks on their side of the board. All you have to do to win is get all the pucks to you opponents side at the same time… despite them constantly trying to fire them back at you! It’s exactly as chaotic and maddening as it sounds, but tremendous fun nonetheless, and it makes a great spectator sport too if there are more than two people in attendance.

    Thanks for reading our top 5 series. We hope you’ve found it useful. Wishing you a very happy and fun-filled Christmas, however many players it involves!
