FromSoftware has issued a newElden Ringupdate in the form of hotfix 1.07.1 that looks to adjust game balance and address one of the open world action-RPG’s lingering bugs.

Developer FromSoftware has updatedElden Ringnumerous times since the game’s launch earlier this year. These updates have addressed fan feedback, making balance changes as necessary while also adding new content in some cases.NewElden Ringquests, characters, and more have been added to the game as part of its various updates, though many are still holding out hope that a full-fledged DLC expansion may be on the way at some point in the near future.

While there’s been no announcement about any kind ofElden RingDLC expansion, fans do have a new update to download as of today. Available now across all platforms,Elden Ringupdate 1.07.1 shortens the effect duration of the Endure Ash of War. It seems that the changes made to Endure in update 1.07 were a bit too drastic and “had a greater impact on the game” than FromSoftware anticipated. The update also makes it soElden Ringplayers using the Inescapable Frenzy Incantationwill now have the proper amount of FP reduced when they use it.
Barring any unforeseen issues with this latest patch, it’s likely that this will be the last major update forElden Ringfor a while.Elden Ringupdates have become more infrequent the farther that we’ve gotten from the game’s launch date, and it’s likely that trend will continue moving forward. If theElden RingDLC expansion rumorsare true, it seems FromSoftware would rather work on that instead of continuing to release frequent updates for the game, which is understandable.
However, the argument could be made thatElden Ringisn’t really in need of frequent updates anymore.Elden Ringenjoyed near-universal acclaim at launch, and so it seems many fans would have been satisfied had it been left alone after release. FromSoftware has a reputation as one of the best game development studios in the world, though, and that’s partly because of its dedication to improving its games even long after they’ve launched.
It will be interesting to see what futureElden Ringupdatesentail. In the meantime,Elden Ringfans can download hotfix 1.07.1 and get their game up to date.
