FromSoftware has granted players' wishes by introducing a dedicated two-player Duo Expeditions mode in Elden Ring Nightreign's upcoming Patch 1.02. The update arrives July 30, finally allowing Nightfarers to challenge Nightlords alongside just one trusted companion.
A Long-Awaited Duo Experience
The addition fulfills one of the community's most consistent requests since launch. Previously, players could only venture solo or recruit two others for trio expeditions. Game director Junya Ishizaki acknowledged this oversight during development, calling the inclusion crucial for players preferring more intimate cooperative sessions.
More Than Just Duos
Patch 1.02 introduces several quality-of-life improvements including enhanced Relic filtering options. With players likely amassing substantial collections, these organizational tools arrive at the perfect time.
The update coincides with the next Everdark cycle on July 31, bringing enhanced sovereign battles against Tricephalos, Augur, Equilibrious Beast, and Fissure in the Fog. These challenges will test solos, duos, and trios alike.
The Future of Nightreign
FromSoftware's commitment to expanding Nightreign's cooperative features demonstrates their evolving approach to live service maintenance. With potential DLC still ahead, the Lands Between promises even more adventures.
