After a Shadow of the Erdtree-induced hiatus, Elden Ring’s Seamless Co-op mod is already back with support for the expansion

After being briefly borked by the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring’s Seamless Co-op mod is now ready to use in the expansion. Passing a message from mod creator Luke Yui yesterday, Seamless Co-op Discord moderator Dalvik wrote that “While not perfect, it has reached a state where it can be used to play Elden Ring and the DLC in co-op.”

FromSoftware’s unique implementation of cooperative play is great for if you need to bring a stranger or friend into your game for help on a boss, but Elden Ring’s open world and death/boss defeat disconnects make it a chore to experience the whole thing beginning to end with a friend. Seamless Co-op fixed that, with a no muss, no fuss, impressively polished solution. It runs in a separate .exe with its own saves and on its own servers, bypassing Easy AntiCheat. Once you’ve made it to your friend’s instance via a simple password match system, you stay there until you’re ready to leave.
