Dark Souls Remastered Seamless Co-Op Mod Released on PC by Veteran Elden Ring Modder

A transformative new mod has been released for Dark Souls Remastered on PC, empowering players with true seamless co-op functionality previously unavailable in the core FromSoftware experience.

Developed by the prolific modder Yui, renowned for their previous multiplayer projects for Elden Ring and Dark Souls III, this release ushers in a new era of collaborative gameplay for fans of the classic action RPG.

Historically, multiplayer in Dark Souls Remastered, released by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco in 2018, has relied on an intricate system of summoning, with fog walls and boundaries artificially limiting player movement and cooperation.

These mechanics, essential for the game's balance in its original design, have long frustrated fans seeking a more continuous co-operative adventure.

Yui's latest seamless co-op mod addresses these limitations head-on.

The mod removes environmental barriers such as fog walls, allowing up to six players to freely explore Lordran together without interruption.

Importantly, the mod ensures player progress is synchronized across all participants, facilitating a true shared journey from the Northern Undead Asylum to the game's climactic final boss.

Notably, the mod maintains stability throughout the co-op session—even after a boss fight or player death, players simply respawn at the last visited bonfire instead of being disconnected, a significant improvement over the original implementation.

In communicating the mod's features, Yui reaffirmed that it does not rely on FromSoftware’s official matchmaking servers, instead operating on a separate infrastructure and employing independent save files.

As a result, players can enjoy the modded experience without concern for bans, provided they do not attempt to connect with standard multiplayer sessions or improperly convert save files.

Yui clarified: "There is no risk of a ban when using this mod unless the intent is to interact with vanilla players or modify save data in an unsupported way." Currently, the seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls Remastered remains in its alpha stage and may contain bugs, but its release marks a pivotal step in the modding community’s efforts to expand classic titles’ multiplayer capabilities.

The full feature list, installation instructions, and ongoing updates are available through NexusMods, the prominent PC gaming mod platform. This new development in the Dark Souls Remastered modding scene exemplifies both the enduring passion of the franchise's community and the technical expertise required to reimagine its gameplay systems.

For PC players eager to relive the world of Lordran with friends in uninterrupted fashion, Yui's seamless co-op mod opens the door to an unprecedented level of cooperative play.
