Multiplayer expansion for Elden Ring's Nightreign mod now caters to teams of six, as developers deem adding additional players would make the game too effortlessly simple.
The Nightreign Seamless co-op mod for Elden Ring, initially launched to enable two-player seamless co-op matches, has now expanded its player capacity to support up to six players in co-op sessions[1][2]. This evolution reflects the mod’s creator Yui’s ambition to provide more extensive multiplayer experiences beyond the base game’s limitations.
Originally designed for 2-player matches, the mod was later adapted to accommodate 6 players following the release of FromSoftware's official Duos mode[2]. The latest updates include rebalancing to maintain fun and challenge in both solo and duo play, with overhauls such as custom weapon affinities, character balance, and UI/animation changes facilitated by tools like ModEngine3, which allows mod layering without altering the base game files directly[5].
The mod applies significant technical improvements (via ModEngine3) to allow complex changes like UI and animation tweaks, underpinning its seamless multiplayer functionality[5]. However, it's important to note that playing with more than four players may cause bugs, and the creators are currently seeking bug fixes[1].
In the base game, enemy health increases by 25% per player. But in the Nightreign Seamless co-op mod, enemy health scales up per additional player, not that enemies get 100% more health per player[1]. For instance, setting health_scaling to 1000 results in a 250% increase in enemy health[1].
It's worth mentioning that the mod does not affect camp enemies or beasts around the map[1]. Once the bugs are fixed, the Seamless co-op mod project will be put in maintenance mode[1]. The mod's environment signals a dedicated mod environment rather than a seamless transition back to vanilla gameplay[5].
FromSoftware initially intended Elden Ring Nightreign to be playable only in single-player or trio mode[1]. The Nightreign Seamless co-op mod was originally designed to bridge the gap between the game’s launch and the developers adding official 2-player support[1]. As the mod continues to mature, indications suggest that further expansions in player count and features may be pursued[1][2][5].
