Tokyo, Japan – Fans of the popular video game Elden Ring can look forward to an exciting free update coming alongside the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The update, set to launch on June 20th, will bring significant improvements to the gameplay experience. Following a teaser from FromSoftware on Twitter, players learned that the update will include bug fixes, balance adjustments, and new features to enhance the overall game.
One of the most anticipated changes involves inventory management. With the update, players will no longer struggle to locate newly acquired items in their inventory. Instead, these items will be marked with an exclamation point icon until highlighted, making them easier to find. Additionally, a new inventory tab will be dedicated solely to recently acquired items, streamlining the organization process. This quality-of-life improvement was well-received by players who had a hands-on experience with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC earlier.
In addition to inventory changes, Summoning Pools will undergo adjustments in the update. Active Summoning Pools will now carry over to new game plus, and players will have the ability to toggle individual pools on and off from a new Map Functions Menu. Furthermore, players can expect five new hairstyles to choose from during character creation or when utilizing certain in-game features.
The update is just the beginning of the exciting changes awaiting Elden Ring players. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, along with its patch, is scheduled to launch on June 21st. Players can explore all the new features and improvements when the update goes live. Those eager to dive into the DLC can look forward to a midnight release, with pre-loading available for PlayStation users and special early access for Xbox players willing to change their regional settings.
As anticipation builds for the release of Shadow of the Erdtree and its accompanying update, players are encouraged to prepare by leveling up in the base game. With new content and enhancements on the horizon, the world of Elden Ring is set to expand even further, offering fans new adventures and challenges to conquer.
