Fans of Elden Ring: Nightreign can now rejoice as FromSoftware has confirmed that a two-player mode is indeed on its way. This exciting announcement comes after the studio acknowledged overlooking this feature during development. Players have been vocal about wanting to enjoy Nightreign as duos, and the addition of this mode is set to be a game-changer.
The announcement was made via FromSoftware¡¯s Japanese-language social media account, where the studio detailed its post-launch plans for Nightreign. The highlight is the upcoming "Duo Expeditions," which will allow two players to team up. This marks a significant shift for the game, which was previously designed for solo players or groups of three.
Game director Junya Ishizaki explained that the omission was an oversight. "We spent so much time perfecting the solo and three-player experiences that we neglected the duos aspect," he admitted. The studio's quick response to player feedback has been met with widespread praise, reinforcing FromSoftware's reputation for community-driven updates.
The lack of a duos mode was one of the main criticisms in early reviews. Nightreign¡¯s gameplay felt incomplete without it, especially since the game¡¯s structure seemed ideal for pair-based exploration. The forthcoming update will finally address this gap, offering a more versatile multiplayer experience.
?FromSoftware's swift course correction highlights its commitment to improving Nightreign. For players eagerly awaiting these updates, the two-player mode and enhanced boss fights are just the beginning of what promises to be a vibrant post-launch roadmap.
Beyond the two-player mode, FromSoftware is also rolling out "enhanced fights" featuring the Nightlords, the game¡¯s major bosses. These updates promise to bring more challenging and dynamic encounters, though specifics remain under wraps. Additionally, a new DLC is in development, further extending Nightreign¡¯s lifecycle.
?The game has already achieved impressive sales, crossing 3.5 million players within a week of its release. This success is another feather in FromSoftware¡¯s cap, following the monumental achievements of Elden Ring.
