A prominent modder named Yui has announced a new seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls Remastered, letting players enjoy the entire game together without the typical barriers that have been part of FromSoftware’s multiplayer approach.
The mod follows other successful projects for Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3 by the same creator, extending their vision of uninterrupted cooperative play across the Souls series.
The seamless co-op mod tackles long-standing frustrations with Dark Souls‘ original multiplayer design, which made players use consumable items, face area restrictions, and deal with frequent disconnections when trying to play together.
Instead, this change allows friends to start a journey at the beginning of the game and continue through the whole of Lordran without any stops.
Key features include customizable difficulty scaling based on player count, client-based loot systems making sure everyone gets their own rewards, and an optional invasion toggle for those wanting to git gud in PvP action. Players connect through a password system similar to the one used in Yui’s Dark Souls 3 seamless co-op mod.
Technical implementation requires editing configuration files to set up multiplayer sessions, a process Yui has reportedly streamlined based on feedback from previous projects.
Praise the sun, together
“This is exactly what the community has been asking for,” notes one enthusiastic player about the announcement. “The Souls games have these amazing worlds that you want to explore with friends, but the restrictions made it tedious.”
The Dark Souls modding community has consistently pushed boundaries since the series debuted on PC, with everything from visual enhancements to combat overhauls keeping the aging titles fresh.
This co-op mod represents one of the most significant quality-of-life improvements, potentially breathing new life into a classic that first launched in 2011.
