Elden Ring is an RPG built on limitations. Melee combat is limited by stamina, sorcery is limited by mana, and even flasks of health potion have limited uses before they must be replenished at Sites of Grace.

The work-in-progress mod, currently dubbed Elden Ring Seamless Coop, has been showcased in two separate videos from mod developer LukeYui. As the name implies, the mod seeks to create a seamless co-op experience that removes Elden Ring's various frustrating multiplayer limitations. The idea is that a co-op partner could join someone's game and play regularly without any interruptions to the gameplay experience or forced disconnects regardless of what happens.
