Elden Ring is getting update 1.19 right now with maintenance in progress: while we wait for the precise details, let’s see what we know about the upcoming and probable new features.
Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have announced the upcoming arrival, scheduled for these hours on July 30, 2024, of the new update 1.19 for Elden Ring, which brings the software to version 1.13 bringing several improvements and changes to the famous action RPG.
The full official notes are still missing, but the game has already entered its maintenance phase, which could mean that online features will be unavailable for a few hours. In the meantime, some of the main features of this new update have emerged.
Among these, there should be a correction in the credits that should finally mention some translators and localization managers who were previously missing from the staff list.
The probable corrections
On top of that, there are obviously several technical and gameplay changes planned for Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree, some of which are quite interesting.
Among the probable fixes, as they have already been reported by the community for some time and on which the developers were working in the last few days, there should be adjustments for the balance and also some particular adjustments such as:
Damage reduction for thorned arrows, Swift slash, blind spot, and sleep Hitbox adjustments for Radahn Hitbox adjustments for Gaius
Among the fixes could also be one for a recently emerged exploit in PvP, which allows you to practically instantly kill all enemies in the area and therefore poses a serious risk to the overall balance.
This is a combination of elements discovered by some users: using bottles of poisonous perfume, together with Deathblight, combined with Death Fare and using the Shotel Eclipse on both hands, apparently results in practically an instant kill of all nearby PvP enemies.
