About

Better Multiplayer, also known in the community as den2, is the successor to DEN Maps. Originally developed as a fight club arena and tournament-hosting mod, it has since evolved into a full multiplayer overhaul that improves nearly every aspect of Elden Ring’s multiplayer systems.

The project is maintained by the Duelist Event Network (DEN) team:

• Axi (axd1x8a) - Lead Developer and Project Lead
• AmirahTheThe (AmirahSouls) - Original developer of DEN Maps; Co-Developer and Advisor
• NotKjell - Created most of DEN Maps’ arenas; Advisor and Project Manager
• ThomasJClark - Co-Developer and Contributor
