Elden Ring Nightreign: Discounts, Patches, and Fan-Made Co-op Enhancements

Elden Ring Nightreign, the highly anticipated multiplayer-focused expansion to the beloved Elden Ring, has arrived, bringing a wave of new content and challenges. But the launch hasn't been without its share of updates, discounts, and community-driven modifications.

Shortly after its launch, players were already seeing discounts. Newegg offered a 15 percent discount on both Steam and Xbox versions, bringing the price down to $33.99 with the code XVSAVE. This made it more accessible to gamers eager to jump into the new roguelike-meets-Soulslike experience.

To ensure a smooth gameplay experience, FromSoftware promptly released Patch 1.01 for Elden Ring Nightreign across all platforms, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The patch targeted improvements to gameplay and stability, addressing various issues such as character handling, sound adjustments, text modifications, and balance adjustments. It also included bug fixes and added character scenarios.

PC players encountering issues like the game failing to start were advised to verify the integrity of game files via Steam. The patch also acknowledged that some PC configurations with the latest graphics cards were experiencing frame rate drops, recommending that players lower graphics settings and update drivers.

Elden Ring's passionate modding community has already enhanced Nightreign's co-op experience. LukeYui, the creator of the popular Seamless Co-op mod for Elden Ring, wasted no time creating a prototype allowing for two-player co-op in Nightreign, in addition to the existing triples and solo options. Within just four hours of the game's release, LukeYui had a functional multiplayer system that bypassed the matchmaking servers and EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat), enabling players to enjoy seamless co-op without restrictions. This mod allows for customized gameplay and the potential for an increased player cap in the future.

FromSoftware's stance on mods for Nightreign remains to be seen, but the community's swift response to offering enhancements highlights the enduring appeal and adaptability of Elden Ring. LukeYui’s project showcases the community's desire for greater freedom and collaboration within the game.

Elden Ring Nightreign has quickly become a dynamic and evolving experience, thanks to official updates and passionate community contributions. Have you jumped into Nightreign yet?
