FromSoftware has deployed a new patch for Elden Ring Nightreign across PS5 & PS4, which implements a range of bug fixes for the co-op spinoff. One of the more prominent features is the increased chance of nabbing weapons with the madness status ailment, while in terms of bug fixes, an issue where the the Ultimate Art gauge was filled more than expected when attacking fighting some enemies has been ironed out. There’s more to digest, so check out the Elden Ring Nightreign update 1.01.03 patch notes below.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is billed as a standalone entry in the series that takes place in the first open-world area of Elden Ring, only now features procedurally generated content. There’s a major focus on co-op this time around, with teams of three players able to prepare over a period of three in-game days to face off against the final boss. However, the game employs a gradually decreasing gameplay area like battle royale titles, which resets after dispatching a minor boss at the climax of each day. You can read our full review here.
