Although Elden Ring ‘s multiplayer mechanics are practically identical to those of FromSoftware’s previous action RPGs, the co-op experience is made much worse by the game’s expansive design. Playing through the entire game with friends can become a chore. Every time one of Elden Ring ‘s many bosses is defeated, the multiplayer session ends, and cooperators must be re-summoned. Additionally, said Caligo Boss Strategy is only defeated for the host, so if three friends are playing through the game together, they’ll have to beat each one three times. For games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne , separate progression for cooperators was a common critique as well, but the issue is severely exacerbated by Elden Ring ‘s incredible number of bos
Fought in a crumbling arena at the edge of space, the fight is unsettling from the start, but then the dragon will begin teleporting in a frenzy. This makes it hard to focus on hitting the dragon when it could appear behind players to attack with its claws. What makes this one of the toughest challenges in the game is finding time to attack during the onslau
A popular mod for **Elden Ring ** has completely revamped its cooperative multiplayer systems, and its reception could affect the development of future games by FromSoftware. For over a decade, FromSoftware’s action RPGs have used the same, rather obtuse multiplayer functions, with slight differences as the studio’s signature formula evolved. Many Elden Ring players have found the vanilla co-op mechanics too restrictive, and have opted to download the Seamless Co-op mod in order to freely explore The Lands Between alongside a group of frie
With the information currently available in the mainstream, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact title or sequel that might follow Elden Ring . However, there are certain releases that can, given the information provided by Miyazaki and other leaks, be ruled out for the next upcoming FromSoftware launch. Recently, rumors have begun surfacing from alleged insiders, and if they’re accurate, they provide a reasonable case for a classic franchise to follow the company’s hit Elden Ri
FromSoftware’s design plans for upcoming, unannounced games are unknowable, but it’s hard to believe the Seamless Co-op mod has gone unnoticed by the developer. Elden Ring updates are making hidden changes , but the vanilla multiplayer mechanics are likely set in stone, and won’t change even if a DLC expansion is released. Rumors claim FromSoftware’s next game may be a new Armored Core , which might take on some Soulslike mechanics, but feels like a stronger candidate to receive more traditional multiplayer systems. However, as president of FromSoftware, Hidetaka Miyazaki has an incredible amount of influence on all of the studio’s projects, and has become something of an auteur with the increasing success of the Soulslike ga
Relying on the alleged ResetEra leaks, the consumer survey screenshots highlighted ground-breaking details about the supposed Armored Core game in development. In the past, FromSoftware’s Armored Core games weren’t Soulslike because it was an entirely separate franchise that predated Dark Souls , which means a new one would give players a much-needed break from the more recent titles such as Sekiro and Elden Ring . Although Armored Core hasn’t traditionally been Soulslike in nature, it could even take inspiration from FromSoftware’s later releases, possibly not venturing too far from the studio’s formula of painstakingly difficult bosses and enemies as evidenced by the survey’s supposed text, ” challenging battles with tough enemies .” In addition to the short- and long-range combat, information about the name of the world and the main story conflict is provided. Until further confirmation, however, these claims should be taken lightly. Currently, Red Liquorice’s post is the best lead to predict what’s coming next after Elden Ri
At the time of writing, the Seamless Co-op mod has over 170,000 unique downloads after first releasing in late May. The last 30 days on Elden Ring ‘s Steam Charts page shows a peak player count of 107,000. These numbers aren’t necessarily directly comparable, and Steam doesn’t constitute the entirety of the player base, but it’s interesting to see just how much of the active PC community has opted into improved co-op mechanics. Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s most approachable game in decades, which only serves to highlight the convoluted multiplayer mechanics. They are clearly not a major detriment to many’s enjoyment of the game, but there is a large chunk of players actively utilizing an alternative sys
Long and convoluted questlines are common in Soulsborne games, with some of these quests being easily missed or so long they are forgotten, and the same can be said for Elden Ring. NPCs have their own questlines that often intersect with the main story or another NPC questline. The reason these quests are so worthwhile completing, though, is the revealed hidden l
