Saying that Elden Ring is among the most impactful video games ever made is not hyperbole. FromSoftware struck gold by fusing the action and mission structure of Dark Souls with an eye-catching open world, winning accolades from both reviewers and fans. The fact that the game's creators kept improving it with later updates, in addition to the excellent world-building and thrilling action, contributed to the game's success. These helped to balance items and abilities, improve the game's bug-count, and even introduce new content. The Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree , patch v1.12 is now out, and we will go over the whole list of patch notes below.
