Elden Ring Update 1.10 Patch Notes Brings Changes to Spell Poise Damage & Minor Bug Fixes

Elden Ring updates are still being addressed well after the game first launched. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting any form of news or update from the FromSoftware development team that has to do with the upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. For now, though, we’ll have to settle for the team addressing some issues in the game.

The latest Patch Notes for Elden Ring’s 1.10 Update brings with it a handful of modifications, namely increasing the poise damage players inflict when hit by a spell during player-versus-player encounters and a handful of bug fixes.

All Elden Ring Update 1.10 Patch Notes

These are relatively minor patch notes, so you probably won’t have to scour through them for too long. Thankfully, for a majority of Elden Ring’s updates, the team has been fairly light on nearly all the material. Some of the larger ones typically have to do with direct changes to the game or additions that have occurred post-launch. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

We’re still waiting on an official release date and update from the FromSoftware team when it comes to the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring. Hopefully, we get one soon. However, we might have to expect it to occur sometime after the studio’s launch of Armored Core 6, set to release on August 25, 2023.
