Elden Ringh: Nightreign is FromSoftware’s latest release, which premiered May 30, 2025 on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
Although the game hit the market a few days ago, there’s buzz about post-launch features that could surprise even the most dedicated fans. While Nightreign was initially designed around three-player co-op, there’s growing talk that duo mode is just around the corner. The game news scene is heating up — and we can’t wait to see what the latest updates will bring!
What the Dev Teased?
FromSoftware has confirmed that the first major update — Patch 1.02 — is aimed at players who prefer Elden Ring Nightreign solo mode, which has been available in the game since the premiere, but players noticed how difficult and unbalanced this mode is.
One of the new features will be “Automatic Revival on Defeat”, which allows us to resurrect once after dying in a boss fight. In addition, the number of runes gained will be increased, making character progression much easier for solo adventurers.
The developers emphasized that Nightreign was originally created as a three-player game, but they’re now actively considering adding a two-player mode. This is in response to community feedback from players who want more flexible gameplay modes and the option to enjoy the game in smaller groups. The announcement has sparked excitement — after all, who doesn’t love having options? Solo, duo, or full squad — the choice could soon be yours.
Possible Gameplay Impact
Introducing support for solo and a brand-new duo mode is a real game-changer. Until now, Nightreign required players to form a three-person team, which often posed challenges for those who prefer to play solo or with just one partner.
These new modes will finally allow us to explore Limveld on our own terms — no more worrying about finding a full party. These multiplayer adjustments will be crucial to ensure the game stays balanced for lone wolves and small teams alike.
Players are hoping these changes will bring even more freedom to exploration and combat. After all, who wouldn’t want to dive into the world of Limveld and try out different strategies while enjoying new gameplay details at their own pace?
Fan Wishlist for Modes
Of course, the modding community hasn’t been sitting idle. Renowned modder LukeYui, creator of the popular Seamless Co-op mod, has already developed a prototype mod that enables two-player gameplay in Nightreign.
Nightreign 2 player mod has been released.

While the mod has been officially released, it shows just how much interest there is in trending games that offer different ways to play. The mod bypasses official matchmaking servers and the anti-cheat system, giving players more freedom and flexibility.
Speculation And Developer Plans
Given FromSoftware’s track record, it seems safe to assume that duo mode in Nightreign is only a matter of time. The studio has consistently shown that it listens to its player base and adapts accordingly.
God I hope this turns into a live service
