However, some Elden Ring updates added important quality of life updates like NPC markers to the map, and others made some small changes to cutscenes. Namely, Elden Ring recently changed Morgott’s intro cutscene, removing a fire aesthetic from his weapon. This may have been an oversight at launch, as lore would suggest that the Golden Order doesn’t use fire, but it’s clear that FromSoftware has been busy refining the game.

It doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop either. The official Elden Ring Twitter account put out a message, thanking fans for all the support since launch. It’s no secret that Elden Ring is still topping sales charts and has been a source for endless discussion since then, but it also added that it is “working on further improvements for updates going forward. We hope you continue to enjoy your adventures in the Lands Between.”

More Elden Ring updates only bode well for the game, and it’ll be interesting to see what FromSoftware adds in future updates. It’s likely to be more refinements, buffs, and nerfs as outlined above, but it could also be more substantial content like new quests and more. At the same time, it could be something as big as the opening of Elden Ring’s Colosseums.

These updates will also likely continue before and after Elden Ring gets DLC. FromSoftware has yet to confirm any premium post-launch content for Elden Ring quite yet, but it seems more like a matter of when, not if. Several past FromSoftware Soulsborne games have received DLC, and Elden Ring’s launch is arguably the biggest of them all. Not providing DLC would just be leaving money on the table.

Either way, it’s clear that FromSoftware is not done with Elden Ring quite yet. If it does introduce Elden Ring DLC, chances are there will be new weapons and new builds, and those may need balancing. Before, after, or in just general updates, it’ll be interesting to see how Elden Ring closes the year that it began so strongly.

Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
