Summary

  • FromSoftware released update 1.10.1 for Elden Ring, targeting the Steam version and improving the Easy Anti-Cheat system to combat cheating.
  • Fans waiting for new content, such as the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, may be disappointed as no release date has been announced yet.
  • The DLC is rumored to potentially drop in February 2024, but fans should keep their expectations in check and look out for more information.

FromSoftware has updated Elden Ring to Version 1.10.1. Elden Ring has 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.

With Elden Ring so 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. Multiple Elden Ring updates were released post-launch to 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.

Popular Elden Ring Mod Gets Major Update

A popular mod for Elden Ring that introduces hundreds of new spells and reworks the majority of systems receives a huge new update.

By 

The latest Elden Ring update is one of the smaller ones. Specifically targeting the Steam version of Elden 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 new Elden Ring update 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 to play Elden Ring online.

While this update will likely be appreciated by Elden Ring PvP players who 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 new Elden Ring content, 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 the Elden Ring DLC 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 the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC does 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 boost Elden Ring's player count.
