Summary
FromSoftware has updatedElden Ringto Version 1.10.1.Elden Ringhas been a massive success ever since it first released in February 2022. The game launched to near-universal acclaim, with many hailing it as a landmark release and potentially FromSoftware’s best game to date.Elden Ring’s popularity has persisted since launch, with the game still attracting many players across all platforms.
WithElden Ringso well-received at launch, FromSoftware likely could’ve gotten away with leaving it be and moving on to other projects, but the developer instead committed itself to improving the experience in various ways. MultipleElden Ringupdates were released post-launchto squash bugs, address fan feedback, and in some cases, even added substantial new content to the experience like new NPCs, new quests, and new PvP modes.
The latestElden Ringupdate is one of the smaller ones. Specifically targeting the Steam version ofElden Ring, the new update for FromSoftware’s massive open world game features an update to the Easy Anti-Cheat system “to support the Steam OS update.” Basically, the newElden Ringupdate is meant to curb some of the unfortunate cheating that goes on in the game. Cheating is an unfortunate reality of all online games, and while this update should improve things, fans shouldn’t expect it to get rid of all the game’s cheaters. Downloading the update is required for anyone that wants toplayElden Ringonline.
While this update will likely be appreciated byElden RingPvP playerswho don’t want to deal with cheaters, some may be disappointed that it doesn’t add more to the experience. Some fans are getting restless waiting for newElden Ringcontent, as they’ve been waiting well over a year for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC at this point. Unfortunately, a specific release date for Shadow of the Erdtree still has yet to be announced, but there is some hope that it will be released sooner rather than later.
Fans should certainly keep their expectations in check, but rumors have pointed to theElden RingDLC release date being in February, marking the game’s two-year anniversary. With no proper trailer or any concrete details available about what the DLC will entail, a February 2024 release date may be unrealistic. It does seem likely that the DLC will drop at some point in 2024, though, so fans should keep an eye out for more information.
Whenever theElden RingShadow of the Erdtree DLCdoes drop, it’s likely to draw many players back to FromSoftware’s open world epic. It will be interesting to see just how many lapsed players return to boostElden Ring’s player count.
