A two-player mode is coming to Elden Ring: Nightreign.

Bandai Namco Entertainment announced on the 26th via Steam that update 1.02 for 'Elden Ring: Nightreign' (hereinafter Nightreign) is on the way. Launching on the 30th, this update brings UI improvements, bug fixes, and the long-awaited 'two-player mode' that many fans have been clamouring for.

The developer dropped a trailer alongside the announcement for this two-player mode, a feature requested by the community since day one. In fact, Director Junya Ishizaki admitted shortly after launch that the team had overlooked it, noting that the developer was considering adding it post-launch due to the sheer volume of requests.

However, given that Nightreign was built from the ground up for three-player co-op, and considering the base single-player experience is already notorious for its punishing difficulty, the real question is how the balance will shift. The recent trailer remained tight-lipped regarding specific difficulty adjustments for this two-player setup.

Elsewhere in the 1.02 update, expect some quality-of-life UI changes specifically for artifact filtering. This should make sorting through artifact effects, unique traits, and character spells a much less tedious affair.
