The creator of the Elden Ring Seamless co-op mod is now infusing unlimited multiplayer into Dark Souls 3
The Elden Ring Seamless Co-op mod is one of the best unofficial addons for FromSoftware's fantasy RPG. Not only does it let you traverse the Lands Between with pals, but it also frees you from the usual constraints of FromSoft multiplayer.

I have to say, it looks glorious, and once again highlights how much fun FromSoft's games are when you can bring a friend along. Yui doesn't provide many other details about the mod or how it works, but they do specify you'll be able to «play with friends from the tutorial to the very end of the game, with synchronised progress, and no resummoning or interruptions.» Further, they add «Invasions are
