It also added separate damage scaling for PvP, allowing FromSoftware to balance both PvE and PvP individually.

Sekiro Dubi claims to have found new map files, assets, and textures based onElden Ring’s colosseum. They also make note of a new hairstyle, map files, and other subtle changes that are set to come in this expansion.

Sekiro Dubi is the same individual whorestored functionality to a colosseum inElden Ringback in April. They even found a Site of Grace inside this area, hinting that it may have been cut from the main game, or that FromSoftware had already started work on DLC. It looks like information found back then was correct in suggesting that future DLC may feature an arena.
Rumors of anElden Ringmultiplayer DLCfeaturing these colosseums have been floating around for a while now. However, fans will have to wait for FromSoftware to officially announce it to get more concrete details. It’s unknown if these arenas will only be used for PvP or PvE encounters, or if they will be a part of a larger expansion pack.
Elden Ringis a massive game, with tens of hours of both main story and optional content. The map is huge, and it probably has more regions, levels, and bosses than any other game in FromSoftware’s catalog. However, many players have likely finished their playthroughs, so this DLC may convince them to jump back intothe world ofElden Ringonce again.
Elden Ringis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
