Elden Ring Nightreign Duo Expeditions finally arrive this week alongside some long-awaited quality of life updates

FromSoftware has officially announced a release date for Duo Expeditions in Elden Ring Nightreign. Duo Expeditions is really just a fancy name for two-player co-op support. While the developer quickly added support for solo play after launch, co-op play has only been possible with three players.

It’s not clear why it took a little while for two-player co-op to arrive, but it’s going to do so as part of the game’s next major update.

Nightreign’s patch 1.02 is set for release this Wednesday, July 30. Duo Expeditions is the highlight addition, of course, but there’s more to the update than that. FromSoftware also announced that we should expect a few quality of life improvements.

The studio even named one; and it has to do with Relic filtering. The update will add more filtering options that should hopefully make it easier for players to sort through the mountain of Relics they’d been acquiring so far.

Both of these are welcome additions, especially that Nightreign has now sold over 5 million units, as recently announced by the developer.

The timing of this upcoming release is great, too, because it arrives just one day ahead of the next Everdark Sovereign cycle. This next cycle will include enhanced versions of Nightlords Tricephalos, Augur, Equilibrious Beast, and Fissure in the Fog.

Over the last few weeks, the game has seen Everdark Sovereign versions of Nightlord bosses Gaping Jaws, Darkdrift Knight, and Sentient Pest. In case you missed it, we’ve put together a guide about all map events in Nightreign and their rewards.
