A new Elden Ring patch – bringing the game up to version 1.03, which is available to download and install right now – has introduced a suite of changes to the game that are liable to change your experience quite a bit.
One of the headline changes in the patch is the introduction of NPC markers, which you can see on the game’s minimal (and fairly unhelpful) map. Previously, it was easy to lose track of the various quests you’d be on in the world – even leading us to create a series of Elden Ring guides to help you out. Per the new patch, though, it should be a little less confusing for players eager to chase down NPCs and continue on with their various storylines.
Excitingly, the update has also added a new character to the game, named Jar-Bair. Will this lead towards some sort of Elden Ring DLC? It remains to be seen. Given that FromSoft wants to spin the game out into more projects, it’d make sense for the developer to start sowing the seeds of new content now, right?
