Downloadable now across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms, Elden Ring Nightreign update version 1.03 is one of the largest that the game has received so far. As expected, the main thing that this update does is usher in content from The Forsaken Hollows, which brings new bosses, raid events, and bases for players to experience. For those who don’t opt to purchase this DLC, though, the patch makes sweeping changes to the core game. The most notable adjustments on this front are related to Relic and Passive Effects, which now trigger in different ways than before.
In addition, FromSoftware has also squashed dozens of different bugs that players have continued to run across in Elden Ring Nightreign. Some of these issues were tied to specific characters and locations in the game, while others impacted the performance of Nightreign.
To get a look at everything that has been done to Elden Ring Nightreign with this new update today, you can check out the full patch notes below.
