FromSoftware has deployed a brand-new Elden Ring patch ahead of the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
The highly-anticipated downloadable content (DLC) finally launches tomorrow (June 21) for PC and console, but ahead of time, the studio has gone ahead and introduced a bunch of new features for players to enjoy.
With Patch 1.12, players will find not only a collection of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, but they’ll also discover five new hairstyles have been added to the game that can be accessed using the character creator screen, or in-game using the Clouded Mirror Stand or Rennala’s Rebirth feature.
The update also adds a new “Map Functions Menu” to the Map Menu, on top of new Summoning Pool features. According to the patch notes, Active Summoning Pools will now be carried over to New Game+, and Individual Summoning Pools can now be enabled / disabled in the newly added Map Functions Menu.
Other new inventory features include a new tab called “Recent Items”, newly obtained items will be marked with a “!”, and support for the Arabic language.
What’s probably the most exciting addition to the patch notes is the ability to now summon your spectral steed, Torrent, during the final boss against the Elden Beast, which should prove to be massively helpful. You can read the full patch notes below.
