FromSoftware kept its promise after yesterday’s minor delay due to the planet tearing itself apart with a variety of earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes all going off at right about the time the new Elden Ring Nightreign Patch 1.02 was about to drop.
Just as the button to go live was about to be pressed, for a short period of time, things went a bit mad, and everybody, rather than ensuring we could play two-player Nightreign, all fled to safety.
Scary times, but now, just 24 hours later, as promised, we can all update our Elden Ring: Nightreign and play the new headline feature, two-player mode. Now, where did all those friends go?
Elden Ring: Nightreign patch highlights
We aren’t going to paste a massive list of changes in here. If you want to get down and dirty with everything that has changed, feel free to check out the full patch notes on FromSoftware’s site right here.
Duo mode
We are going to look at the key bits, though, and show you exactly what is said about them. Let’s start with the obvious.
- Added Two Player Expeditions.
You may now start an expedition with two Players. To reflect this change, the “Expedition Type” setting name has been changed to “Number of Players.”
The game balance will be adjusted to the current number of players.
Relics
If filtering your relics has irked you previously, you will be pleased to know that this has received a large quality-of-life boost with this new update.
- New filtering options have been added to the Relic Effect filter screen to allow a more precise selection of Relic effects.
* To access the Relic Effect filter screen, press the left stick or the “4” key in the Relic Rites menu.
If multiple effects are selected for one condition, relics that match any of the selected effects will be displayed.
If multiple effects are selected through multiple conditions, only relics that satisfy all conditions will be displayed.
Better descriptions
If you have been left wanting to know what it actually is that the merchants are trying to peddle, more flavor has been added here.
Added “Detailed Description” to the Shop Menu of Limveld merchants.
* You can open the detailed description of the weapon by pressing the right stick or the “3” key in the Shop Menu.
Elden Ring: Nightreign patch 1.02 is available to download now by updating your game on PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 / Xbox One / Xbox Series X|S / Steam.
