Dark Souls 2 Finally Gets Seamless Co-Op Mod From Community Veteran Yui
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Modder Yui has released an alpha version of a seamless co-op mod for Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, finally bringing uninterrupted drop-in multiplayer to the entire game.
Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin has finally escaped its multiplayer limitations. Mod creator Yui, known for building seamless co-op overhauls for Elden Ring, Dark Souls 3, and Armored Core, has released the public alpha for Vendrickated. This new mod brings drop-in, drop-out multiplayer to the entire game, letting up to six players experience the journey together without the usual summoning restrictions and session disconnects that have frustrated the community for years.
While FromSoftware titles feature built-in multiplayer, their reliance on specific items, region boundaries, and boss completion rules has always made playing a full campaign with friends a chore. Yui's mod removes these progression blockers and keeps world states in sync, turning a rigid system into a fluid experience. As Eurogamer notes, this release finally completes the trilogy's unofficial co-op collection, giving Dark Souls 2 the modern multiplayer treatment it has always needed.
Because the project is currently in an alpha state, players should expect a few rough edges. Early reports outline minor syncing issues during boss fights and item pickups, though rapid hotfixes are already rolling out. For players looking to jump back into Drangleic with a full squad, checking the known issues list before installing is a smart move while the community works toward a polished final version.
