Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is still in the works, but in the meantime, FromSoftware has given this much-loved (and occasionally cursed) action RPG an update. You can relax, as this barely touches single-player so it’s not going to, accidentally or intentionally, make it six times as hard to dispatch a boss. If you want to know what it does do, here are all of the Elden Ring 1.10 patch notes.
Elden Ring 1.10 Patch Notes Bring Changes to PvP
Elden Ring patch 1.10 is mainly focused on PC, including a range of balance changes to make player-vs.-player matches fairer. For example, it extends critical hit angles and reduces the invulnerability window of the Quick Step and Hound’s Step skills.
Is that going to drastically alter the game in a way that offends players to their core and leads to FromSoftware uploading a damage control video? No, but if you’ve been taking advantage of those two skills, you’ve now got a marginally higher chance of getting your head divorced from your shoulders.
There are a few single-player tweaks but nothing drastic. Here are all the Elden Ring 1.10 patch notes:
