Fight for glory as the Elden Ring update takes a gladiatorial turn, adding PvP arenas like those in the Dark Souls games.
FromSoftware’s games aren’t for the faint-hearted. With grueling boss battles and punishing consequences galore, the litany of unspoken Soulslike-specific rules can be seriously off-putting for newbies, well, you’ll get to see what you’re made of now a dedicated PvP arena is coming to Elden Ring.
Despite its divisiveness, Elden Ring has stood its ground in the gaming zeitgeist since its February 2022 release – and it’s finally getting a free content update.
Just one day before its release, FromSoftware announced the Colosseum Update (opens in new tab). The teaser trailer shows arena-based combat, telling us that players can “Battle for glory in new PvP modes”. Now you can jump back into Elden Ring and experience a lesser-seen corner of The Lands Between, where people are the real villains.
