AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Bandai Namco has confirmed that Elden Ring will continue to receive technical patches and bug fixes following the release of Version 1.17 and the new Nintendo Switch 2 edition.
Bandai Namco has officially confirmed that Elden Ring will continue to receive technical support and updates moving forward. As noted in the patch notes for the recent Version 1.17 update, the publisher plans to keep making improvements to the game across all platforms. While these upcoming patches are expected to focus primarily on bug fixes and balancing adjustments rather than major new content drops, the ongoing maintenance is great news for the community.
The timing aligns with a renewed wave of attention for the 2022 open world epic. Elden Ring is currently finding new life through the recent launch of the Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, which bundles in the Tarnished Pack DLC, alongside fresh weapons and customization options. For players looking for an excuse to head back into the Lands Between, this steady stream of backend support keeps the experience running smoothly.
Even though FromSoftware has not announced a direct sequel to Elden Ring, the franchise continues to expand into other mediums. Fans have a feature film adaptation directed by Alex Garland and produced by A24 to look forward to in 2028. Meanwhile, director Hidetaka Miyazaki is currently steering FromSoftware toward the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive PvPvE multiplayer title, The Duskbloods.
