One of the update’s highlights includes the newly added option for players to send summoning signs to summoning pools in multiple areas. This will help increase the number of areas players can invade by summoning other players.
Some weapons also received certain buffs and nerfs. Greatswords, Curved Greatswords, and Great Hammers can now be more viable options thanks to the buff these weapons received, while the Bloodhound Step Ash of War, weapon skill Corpse Piler, and the Stars of Ruin sorcery were all nerfed.
Elden Ring was released in February for platforms including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Even before its release, the new action RPG by FromSoftware was already anticipated to be one of the best games to ever exist. In terms of commercial success, Elden Ring sold over 13.4 million copies by the end of March.
