Elden Ring’s Nightreign expansion is finally adding a duo mode with patch 1.02, aimed at enhancing the cooperative gameplay experience.

Announcement Highlights

Bandai Namco announced the new duo expeditions, acknowledging the demand from players. The game director, Junya Ishizaki, recently admitted the oversight of not including the duo option was a mistake, stating:

“We kind of overlooked and neglected the duos aspect.”
Translation: We didn’t focus enough on the duo gameplay feature.

With the upcoming update, players will now enjoy shared adventures with a friend rather than contend with forced third-party players in matchmaking. This shift promises to enhance the overall player experience, simplifying gameplay and improving duo dynamics.

As players anticipate this major update, official support finally attempts to address previously underserved gameplay requests.
