Elden Ring files uncovered from a recent update have fueled speculation that the game’s first expansion could heavily feature the game’s mysterious arenas.
Earlier this year wereported that a dataminerhad managed to use a mod to peek inside the walls of the huge locked colosseums inElden Ring.
Now it appears that the game’s latest update has included new map files, assets and textures associated with this area, further pointing to it being a key location in upcoming content.
A Souls modder namesSekiroDubi even managed to access one ofthese colosseums earlier in the year,revealing a Site of Grace, the in-game respawn points, further pointing to the location as somewhere that players were, or are planned to be able to explore.
To sum it up:- New hair for DLC- new map files from audio banks m20, and m45 (no more info on this)- new Colosseum map files, assets, textures. Textures don’t work due to lack of DLC files- Lots of subtle map changes, like at most divine towersMore doors to be opened stillpic.twitter.com/gew8oe88j6
New hair has also been found in the files, however, it’s unclear if this will be available as a cosmetic option for players, or it’s for use by an NPC in the expansion.
These files were found in the same update which also laid the groundwork for apotential ray tracing support.
