Elden Ring is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is the latest installment in the Souls series and was released in 2021. The game features a unique multiplayer mode, allowing players to join forces with others and take on challenges together. But how exactly do you play multiplayer in Elden Ring?
Joining a Game
The first step in playing multiplayer in Elden Ring is to join an existing game. You can either join a game that someone has already started or create a new game yourself. To join a game, you will need to enter the game’s “Invitation Code” which is a unique code that the game host has set. You can find this code in the game’s menu and enter it in the game’s Multiplayer menu.
Once you’ve entered the invitation code, you’ll be asked to enter your character’s nickname. This nickname will be used by other players to identify you. It’s important to pick an appropriate nickname that other players will recognize. After you’ve entered your nickname, you’ll be taken to the game lobby, where you’ll see a list of all the players that are currently in the game.
Creating a Game
If you want to create a game of your own, you’ll first need to open the Multiplayer menu and select “Create Game”. You’ll then be asked to set a password for your game. This password is used to ensure that only people who know the password can join your game. Once the password is set, you’ll be asked to set a game mode, such as “Co-op” or “Versus”. You can also choose to have a game with no password, allowing anyone to join.
Once you’ve set the game mode, you’ll be given a unique invitation code. This code is used by players to join your game. It’s important to share this code with your friends, so they can join your game. After you’ve set the game mode and invitation code, you’ll be taken to the game lobby, where you’ll see a list of all the players that are currently in the game.
Playing the Game
Once you and your friends have joined the game, you’ll be able to start playing. Depending on the game mode you chose, you’ll be able to play cooperatively or competitively. In co-op mode, you’ll be able to work together to complete objectives and take on enemies. In versus mode, you’ll be able to battle each other in a variety of different game modes.
If you’re playing co-op, you’ll be able to revive each other if someone dies. You can also share items with each other and use special abilities to help each other out. You’ll also be able to access the game’s chatting system, allowing you to communicate with each other and coordinate your actions.
Leaving a Game
When you’re done playing, you can leave the game. To do this, you’ll need to open the game’s menu and select “Leave Game”. This will end your session and you won’t be able to re-join the game. If you’re the game host, you’ll be able to end the game for all players.
Conclusion
Playing multiplayer in Elden Ring is easy and fun. You can join an existing game or create your own with a unique invitation code. Once you’re in the game, you’ll be able to play cooperatively or competitively, depending on the game mode you chose. You can also use the game’s chatting system to communicate with other players. When you’re done playing, you can leave the game and end your session.
