Prepare for Elden Ring Nightreign as Dark Souls Seamless Co-op arrives
While FromSoftware is set to imminently reinvent its multiplayer approach with Elden Ring Nightreign, nothing beats the thrill of the original Dark Souls. The simple act of etching your soapstone into the ground and waiting to be summoned, or calling on a random player to help you finally defeat Ornstein and Smough, is unlike any other online experience. If you want to play through the entire land of Lordran with a friend, however, that's when things get difficult. Constant roadblocks and resets make loading into a friend's world a challenge all by itself, but not anymore. The modder behind the most popular Elden Ring mod of all time, which makes online play much simpler, has finally released a version of it for the first Dark Souls.
