Elden Ringpatch 1.16 is here, rolling out a number of bug fixes forShadow of the Erdtree, although it seems it’ll be up to the community to figure out most of what’s actually changed.
Those definitely aren’t the changes that the community has been most vocally asking for. Thetweet announcing this patchis full of replies from players beggingFromSoftwareto add a boss rush mode for another way to repeatedly smash up the action RPG’s toughest foes without moseying into someone else’s game via co-op.
That’s not to mention the fact that sincepatch 1.14’s release last month, which hitShadow of the Erdtree final boss Radahnwithsome major nerfs, there’ve been plenty of people asking for the devs tobuffthe boss again. As someone who went through the pain of beating him pre-patch, I’m not entirely sure I’d want to go through that whole thing again, but you can understand others feeling a bit robbed of the experience if they didn’t get to at least try it.
Whether either of those things could happen in the future is another matter – publisherBandai Namcorounds off the patch notes by confirming that, as usual, “further updates will be distributed in the future for you to continue to enjoy Elden Ring more comfortably.”
