Elden Ring Nightreign: Mixed Reviews Highlight Missing Features, Director Responds

Elden Ring Nightreign's rocky launch has sparked controversy among players, with many citing the absence of key features like Duos Co-Op and voice chat as major drawbacks. "No 2 player co-op in big 2025?" one player lamented in a Steam review. Another added, "Game is fun but no voice chat, no text chat and NO CROSSPLAY, wtf were they thinking." These sentiments reflect a widespread dissatisfaction with the multiplayer experience, resulting in mixed user reviews on Steam. In response to the criticism, the game's director admitted that the Duos mode was "kind of overlooked and neglected" during development, with the focus primarily on three-player gameplay. However, FromSoftware is reportedly working on a patch to address the issues and make the solo experience more manageable. The impact of these changes on the game's overall reception remains to be seen.
