Elden Ring Nightreign to Add Duos Mode on July 30

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco will launch Duo Expeditions for Elden Ring Nightreign on July 30, 2025, with the free 1.02 update across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. This long-requested two-player mode complements the existing solo and three-player options, making multiplayer matchmaking simpler and more flexible.

Patch 1.02 also brings quality-of-life improvements, notably expanded Relics filtering in the UI. The addition addresses feedback that duos were “overlooked” during development, as explained by game director Junya Ishizaki, who noted the original focus on three-player balance (Source: Bandai Namco).
