Elden Ring Updates: Elden Ring has been confirmed to have an online multiplayer game mode that can support up to four players at the same time, as demonstrated by the Elden Ring surprise game that was unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2021.

The game developed by FromSoftware is known for its complexity, but there is a caveat: Demon Soul, Dark Soul Trilogy, and Bloodborne allow players to summon human allies for online multiplayer games.

Even FromSoftware’s most powerful bosses, such as Ludwig, Ornstein, and Smough, find it much easier to invite other players to help in battle.

The only exception is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which lacks multiplayer components and can be said to be the most demanding game from FromSoftware. Sekiro uses multiplayer mode on the PC.

After a seemingly eternal wait, the world saw the gameplay of Elden Ring for the first time at the 2021 Summer Game Festival. A sentence in FromSoftware’s press release circulated after the leaked news, saying that gamers will “enter themselves into a ruthless game world. Or explore online with friends”. According to the Google translation, the official Japanese website Elden Ring said the game supports “1 to 4 people.”

A moment in the trailer also confirmed the existence of multiplayer. The player in the picture uses a metal cube as an object, emitting a magical light. Then two blue spirits were summoned, surrounded by the same magical aura, one of them seems to use a whip in battle.

It is not clear what restrictions are imposed on summoning other players. The original “Dark Souls” allowed a maximum of four players in each section. This was increased to six in “Dark Souls: Remastered”. It is not clear whether Elden Ring supports PvP.

The online multiplayer game means that players can fight together in a dark, open fantasy world and its many nightmarish bosses. The focus on mounts means that players can be tracked faster. However, for many players seeking help from friends or strangers, this is still a small price when they need to defeat a boss who tortured them for hours.
