For as great as FromSoftware video games are, none of them are notably good at co-op. You may’t simply invite your buddy and be part of a celebration in Elden Ring. You must be in the proper place, with the proper password, whereas the proper stars within the universe align simply to hit monsters with your pals. If it wasn’t for the seamless co-op mod by Yui, Elden Ring’s co-op can be borderline unplayable.
Just a few months in the past, Yui went again and glued co-op in Darkish Souls 3. And now she’s mounted crucial recreation in FromSoftware’s historical past: the unique Darkish Souls.
The primary model of the seamless co-op mod for Darkish Souls Remastered was launched on Thursday. With it, you possibly can play the motion RPG that kicked off a complete style with as much as six gamers. “Merely put, the mod lets you play with mates all through the whole thing of the sport with no restrictions,” Yui wrote within the description on Nexus Mods.
Within the announcement video, you possibly can see that it really works just like the Elden Ring model: You utilize a customized merchandise in your stock to summon folks into your world at any time. Defeating bosses gained’t disband the group prefer it does usually, and everybody gained’t be prevented from interacting with NPCs. It simply works.
“Darkish Souls 1 was my first Darkish Souls recreation and it has a particular place in my coronary heart,” Yui informed game-feeds over DMs. “I additionally consider that the interconnected world of the sport makes it a really nice candidate for seamless co-op.”
Yui stated it was a lot simpler to make than the one for Elden Ring, however that there have been a number of points that needed to be labored out. Darkish Souls got here out 11 years earlier than Elden Ring and wasn’t designed to be really open-world, so gamers are gated by fog doorways throughout common co-op. Yui needed to work across the recreation unloading elements of the map when folks get too far-off from the host, which “took an excellent quantity of reverse engineering to get down,” she stated.
Even with these roadblocks, it solely took her every week to get the mod working. It’s absolutely useful proper now, however Yui stated she’ll proceed to repair any reported bugs till its flawless.
Putting in the mod requires unzipping some information into the proper place and selecting a singular password for everybody to make use of. Then you definately’re free to roam round Lordran along with your posse of Chosen Undead. And don’t fear about getting banned. The mod doesn’t contact FromSoftware’s servers and makes use of separate save information. Your co-op crew is secure.
