Seamless Co-op Mod for Dark Souls Remastered Nearing Completion
2025-03-23 00:35:43A highly anticipated seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls Remastered is nearing completion, promising to transform the game into a truly cooperative experience. The mod, developed by renowned FromSoftware modder Yui, builds upon their previous work, including a similar mod for Dark Souls 3.
Yui recently shared an update on their Patreon page, indicating the Dark Souls Remastered mod is in its final stages. Extensive testing has been conducted, with multiple playthroughs completed using the mod, resulting in the identification and resolution of several minor bugs. The modder expressed confidence in the mod's stability and anticipates a smooth release.
The seamless co-op mod addresses various multiplayer bugs present in the original 2018 remaster. While the specifics of these fixes remain undisclosed, Yui has showcased gameplay footage demonstrating the mod's functionality. The video highlights the uninterrupted cooperative experience, allowing players to progress through the game together, persisting through death, boss fights, teleportation, and other events that typically disrupt multiplayer sessions in the vanilla version.
This follows the announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign, a multiplayer spin-off that appears to have drawn inspiration from similar modding projects. Yui's continued dedication to enhancing the multiplayer experience in FromSoftware games is evident in this ambitious undertaking.
As of late March 2025, the mod is largely complete, with only testing and final adjustments remaining. Although a concrete release date is yet to be announced, based on Yui's previous work, such as the Elden Ring seamless co-op mod released shortly after the game's three-month anniversary, a summer 2025 release for the Dark Souls Remastered mod seems plausible.
This significant modification holds the potential to revitalize the Dark Souls Remastered experience on PC, encouraging players to revisit Lordran with friends. The seamless co-op feature will undoubtedly enhance accessibility, allowing players to support each other through challenging areas, fostering a more collaborative and enjoyable gameplay experience.
