If you’ve been keeping up with Elden Ring‘s various updates over the last several months, the game’s minor evolutions should be familiar to you. FromSoftware has quietly changed the game’s maps (several times), and made a number of other tweaks that rarely get mentioned in patch notes.
And, it turns out, one of the game’s most recongisable areas was being updated right up until the last minute.
Leyndell, the Royal Capital is a vast, complex legacy dungeon, which players arrive at fairly late into the game. In Elden Ring’s 1.0 version – the one that shipped on disc – Leyndell is a little different from the one players have been visiting since the days of release.
