Elden Ring vs Dark Souls – Why is the new game so much more successful?
Well-known Dark Souls modder Grimrukh is working on one Survival mod for Elden Ring, which does exactly what the name says: It adds new mechanics to the role-playing game that are otherwise only known from popular survival games. And you don’t have to wait too l ong for the mod.
When the little hunger comes in Elden Ring
Grimrukh, who previously worked on the Dark Souls mod Daughters of Ash, among other things, published a first teaser video for his survival mode for Elden Ring on Twitter. But see for yourself first:

What does survival mode offer? Of course, the modification adds classic survival mechanics, such as hunger and thirst, which you have to quench regularly. You can go hunting, collect meat and even process it into suitable recipes via the crafting menu.
But you don’t stop the mod just yet. Instead, depending on the region, for example, there are different diseases that you can get infected with. Then you have to create appropriate remedies to protect yourself from further infection.
In addition, the mod introduces new crafting options, such as the ability to craft a dagger. You can later expand this into a short sword and even a long sword with additional recipes. Grimrukh promises over 400 new weapon recipesthat are added using the mod.
Last but not least, Survival Mode ensures that the nights get really dark. From now on you need torches to see further than a few meters and not to be surprised by enemies.
When will the modification appear?
If you now feel like trying out the mod, you only have to be patient for a few days. According to Grimrukh, survival mode next Monday June 6th released after a premiere live stream. After that, anyone interested can download and try out the mod.
In addition, you do not have to activate all features during installation. For example, if you really hate dark nights, you will be able to turn them off.
Seamless Co-op:
Unlimited multiplayer for Elden Ring
By the way, if survival is not your thing, but you would like a freer co-op mode, then there is a remedy there as well. With a special modification, up to four players can explore the world of Elden Ring together and defeat bosses.
