Elden Ring's base game is getting new hairdos and other improvements ahead of its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

Sure, everyone’s excited about Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but do you what’s more exciting than Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Ertree DLC? New hairdos, that’s what! And FromSoftware is adding a bunch of them in a free update arriving next Thursday, 20th June.

It sounds like a bit of a biggie too, combining a day-one patch for Shadow of the Erdtree alongside various improvements for the base game. As detailed on Elden Ring’s social media feed, it brings bug fixes, balance adjustments, plus a number of new features.

With the update installed, for instance, it’ll finally be possible to see all your recently acquired items at a glance (previously, new items just vanished into pile, making it a bit of a pain to figure out what, exactly, you’d just picked up); newly acquired items will be marked with an exclamation mark and a Recent Items tab has been added to the inventory.
