Elden Ring Update 1.04 Patch Notes

Elden Ring Update 1.04 Accidentally Shortens Cerulean Hidden Tear

Elden Ring Patch 1.04 has arrived today and the update has brought along a lengthy list of bug fixes and gameplay improvements. Amongst the major changes are event phases for Patches and the ability to toggle the camera’s auto-rotate function on and off. Unfortunately one of the side effects is that the patch has also accidentally shortened the duration of Cerulean Hidden Tear, although FromSoftware is intending to fix this in a later minor patch.

Both games are in the early stages of development and could still be canceled if things don’t go to plan. Elsewhere, there’s a new Star Wars game in the works from Amy Hennig’s Skydance New Media studio.
