Elden Ring Nightreign Day One Update Version 1.01 Brings Changes That Players Probably Won’t Notice

Since the game has recently been launched, there’s no existing version to compare the changes made by FromSoftware against. Although reviewers have had prior access to the game and our team has already installed the patch featuring the updates, it’s difficult to identify the impact of these changes without a point of reference.

Patch contents:

  • Improved handling of playable characters
  • Soundtrack addition and adjustments
  • Text adjustments
  • Balance adjustments
  • Added character scenarios
