Elden Ring enthusiasts will likely recognize the name Yui, the modder behind the beloved seamless co-op mod. Yui is making waves again by bringing this innovative approach to Dark Souls 3.
FromSoftware clearly designed their multiplayer features with a certain challenge in mind. The idea is to ease the solitary journey of a single silent protagonist by introducing a cooperative element. However, playing with friends can often feel like a cumbersome task. This is where Yui comes in. Known for their outstanding seamless co-op modification for Elden Ring, and even crafting a similar mod for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Yui is now tackling Dark Souls 3 with the same seamless co-op experience.
Yui recently showcased this exciting new mod in a video featuring gameplay alongside a friend navigating Lothric Castle—so yes, beware of spoilers if you haven’t ventured into Dark Souls 3 yet. In the video description, Yui explains that the mod removes all multiplayer barriers, allowing players to maintain connections even after dying. You and your friends can journey together from the tutorial stage to the game’s conclusion, enjoying synchronized progress without the hassle of resummoning. Optional invasions are enabled by default, and you can adjust the difficulty scaling of enemies to suit your liking. Sounds like a dream come true for fans of cooperative gameplay!
Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on when this mod will be available, so patience is key. Meanwhile, you can look forward to Nightreign, the latest Elden Ring release expected this year. It’s set to feature built-in seamless co-op, adding a fresh twist with its focus on replayability as a boss-focused roguelite.
