Elden Ring multiplayer co-op details<\/h2>\n
It has been confirmed via a Press Release that Elden Ring will have a multiplayer co-op system. Up to four players will be able to band together, and that’s really all the details there are so far.<\/p>\n
The multiplayer co-op was confirmed with this singular line: “Traverse on foot or horseback, alone or online with friends across grassy plains, suffocating swamps and lush forests.”<\/p>\n
From the trailer, it appears some form of summoning item will need to be used, as for a moment we could see a character use a glowing box type item, with a distinct “ting” sound, before summoning Blue Phantoms (more on those in the next section).<\/p>\n While it is still unclear how Elden Ring’s multiplayer co-op will work, knowing From Software, we shouldn’t expect it to be as easy as simply joining matchmaking or a server with friends…which, for Soulsborne fans, is part of the unique multiplayer experience.<\/p>\n Throughout certain parts of the trailer, it appeared as if the player character was actually fighting another player.<\/p>\n From Software has not confirmed there will be Player-versus-Player (PvP) in the game. However, in the trailer, the Blue Phantoms were spotted! These Blue Phantoms, if previous Soulsborne titles are anything to go by, basically confirms the existence of PvP, even though we haven’t seen an “Invasion” take place during the trailer.<\/p>\n Due to the unique multiplayer in previous From Software titles such as the Dark Souls franchise and Bloodborne, don’t expect Elden Ring PvP to be simply as easy as jumping into a game and killing others. Instead, you might have to contest with Blue Phantoms (who kill naughty players), and you will likely need to find an item to start off an Invasion.<\/p>\n(Picture: From Software)<\/span><\/p>\n
