Elden Ring Multiplayer 1.08 Patch Notes: Elden Ring’s massive new multiplayer update goes live, but it adds more than simply PvP to the well-known game. According to the complete patch notes, the update also adds a number of new hairstyles for players, adjustments to the overall game’s balance, and a number of bug fixes.
Players can now engage in head-to-head competition through 1v1 duels or as part of teams of up to six in the Colosseums at Limgrave, Caelid, and Leyndell. There are also “special bouts” that allow for the summoning of spirits during combat.
Although the new hairstyles aren’t mentioned extensively by From Software, you may see them in the character editor. As for the balance adjustments, there have been multiple decreases in the speed and damage of numerous other weapons and game aspects, while daggers, axes, and hammers have had their recovery times shortened.
Regarding bugs, players won’t have to struggle with a variety of problems that occasionally stopped spells, incantations, and item input activities from functioning. An issue that might prevent consumable goods from replenishing when teleporting to a place of grace from the map is also fixed by the update.
The complete patch notes, as provided by From Software, are listed below.
