The latest update from FromSoftware is taking Elden Ring: Nightreign to new heights. The newly deployed patch delivers an enriched experience with more Deep of the Night content available for The Forsaken Hollows DLC, alongside various new features, balance adjustments, bug fixes, and more. This update is geared to enhance the gameplay for the impressive 2 million players who have already dived into the DLC.
Experience new adventures in the ultra-hard Deep of Night mode with new targets, landmarks, raid events, and Shifting Earth. The much-anticipated Patch 1.03.1 also refines pre-order bonuses, such as artwork and soundtracks, and addresses the security vulnerability announced by Unity Technologies on October 3. Despite these extensive changes, the developers assure that the main game remains unaffected by the security issues. Players must apply this update to engage in online play, as accessing the game without it will not be possible.
