The Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod dodge-rolled out of cover just a few weeks ago, from the same modding talent that added seamless co-op to Elden Ring and, most recently, Armored Core 6. It wasn't clear at the time when Dark Souls 3 would be getting its co-op mod. But it turns out the answer was 'very soon'. Now, the Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod is formally available to download, even if it isn't 100% finished just yet... Read more.

Elden Ring Nightreign might be a major revamp of FromSofware's soulslike multiplayer experience, but it's actually a careful evolution of a system the studio has been refining for years. From Demon's Souls to Bloodborne, the developer has always pushed the envelope with co-op experiences; the iconic summoning and messaging systems still feel like a novel concept all these years later. That said, constantly having to rejoin friends after defeating bosses or dying quickly becomes frustrating. One modder remedied that issue in Elden Ring, and now they've done it again for Dark Souls 3. Read the r

Ahead of Elden Ring Nightreign giving you a chance to battle through some bosses with friends in a few months' time, the uber popular mod that brought that kind of multiplayer to the original Elden Ring has given birth to a sibling. The previously teased Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op is now a thing. Read more

Elden Ring Nightreign is quickly becoming one of the year’s most anticipated games, and with good reason. But it also represents an entirely new type of game for developer FromSoftware, one that freed it up to try things some would consider sacrilege. Read more

The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod is one of the best unofficial addons for FromSoftware's fantasy RPG. Not only does it let you traverse the Lands Between with pals, but it also frees you from the usual constraints of FromSoft multiplayer. As our own Wes Fenlon enthused last year, the mod "makes Elden Ring feel like a true cooperative game through and through, rather than a cooperative experience cobbled together around FromSoftware's trademark odd online systems."..

FromSoftware's take on multiplayer is easily my favorite part of the studio's games. The summoning system means you're completely alone and surrounded by other players simultaneously, with their bloodstains and cheeky messages acting like passing ships in the night. You can then call on a random player to help you finally beat that brick wall of a boss, only for them to slowly fade away when the task is done as they emote to you one last time. If you want to trudge through one of FromSoftware's games with a friend, however, the developer's online system can make that tough. That's why I'm thri

A massive Dark Souls 3 mod just released its first demo, thereby adding more lore, a changed combat system, and even new enemies to the base game. As eager players jumped on the chance to try the Dark Souls: Archthrones mod, many of them have found the gameplay to be a little more challenging than they were hoping for - even for a Souls game.

We're still a few months out from the release of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, but in the meantime, there's now a demo for an impressive looking Dark Souls 3 mod. Last month, after a two year wait, FromSoftware finally announced the release date for Shadow of the Erdtree. Unfortunately for all of us, it's still a few months away until the DLC actually releases, and there's only so many times you can replay the base game (that thing is massive, I haven't even seen all there is to see yet even now). But, if you're a PC player, there's a new mod on the way for Dark Souls 3, and it looks like

Dark Souls: Archthrones feels like a Souls series romhack, mashing up disparate parts of FromSoftware's body of work in a custom campaign for Dark Souls 3. This is one for the fans, full of clever winks and references to other games in the series, but as one of those fans myself, I sure do not mind being pandered to... Read more.

Every time we get a new look at the enormous Dark Souls 3 mod, Dark Souls: Archthrones, it seems better and better. By combining the 2016 trilogy capstone's framework with original ideas and mechanics from other FromSoftware games, like Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the team responsible for the mod has made something that feels like a natural extension of the base game. Now, after years of hard work on the project, it's just hit its biggest milestone to date: releasing a free demo on Nexus Mods that you can play right this moment. Read the rest of the story...
