Elden Ring‘s big new multiplayer update launches today, December 7, but it does more than just add PvP to the popular title. The full patch notes have been released, and the update also includes multiple new hairstyles for players, general balance tweaks, and a series of bug fixes.
The Colosseums at Limgrave, Caelid, and Leyndell are now open to players for head-to-head competition through 1v1 duels or as team fights for up to six players. There are also “special fights” available in which spirits can be summoned during battle.
From Software didn’t say much about the new hairstyles, but you can see them in the character editor. As for the balance changes, daggers, axes, and hammers have had their recovery time reduced, while there are numerous reductions to speed and damage of various other weapons and game elements.
