‘Elden Ring’ Receives Free “Colosseum Update” DLC Today [Trailer]

In what could be seen as prep for The Game Awards tomorrow night, Bandai Namco and developer From Software have finally announced new DLC for Elden Ring. Best of all, it’s available today for free! The “Colosseum Update” brings new Player versus Player features to Elden Ring, as well as all-new cosmetic options.

According to the press release, the Colosseum Update adds three new arenas to Elden Ring. Located in Limgrave, Caelid and Leyndell, each arena comes with its own sets of rules and will be “theatres of fierce Player versus Player confrontations.”

The Limgrave Colosseum features two modes: United Combat and Combat Ordeal.

In United Combat, players will be divided into two teams to fight in timed battles with the ability to respawn. Each death and respawn grants points to the adversaries, offering victory to the team with the higher score.
In Combat Ordeal, it’s all out war. Combatants in this mode can also respawn until the timer hits zero, and the one with the most points gets the win.

The Royal Colosseum in Leyndell features Duel Mode. Two Tarnished will face off in a duel to the death, without the ability to respawn. Lastly, the Caelid Colosseum features all of the aforementioned modes, with the addition of being able to summon Spirit Ashes to fight by players’ sides. Players can fight on their own, or use group passwords to match up with or against friends.

As for the cosmetics, players get an additional five new hairstyles. Yeah, it’s not much, but the obvious draw here for Elden Ring players is the PvP combat in the Colosseum.

Elden Ring is up for Game of The Year honours at tomorrow’s Game Awards, alongside A Plague Tale: Requiem, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The show airs tomorrow night at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT.

Elden Ring is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
