Elden Ring's Two-Player Mode Patch Delayed Due to Tsunami Warnings
In a surprising turn of events, the highly anticipated patch 1.02 for Elden Ring, which was set to introduce a two-player mode, has been delayed due to tsunami warnings following an 8.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia. Safety concerns have taken precedence, pushing the release date to Thursday, July 31, after 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST. This delay not only affects the patch but also the return of the Everdark Sovereign, which will now be postponed until the patch is deployed.
The tsunami warnings have prompted evacuation orders across the Pacific, impacting millions in countries such as Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. With 1.9 million people advised to seek higher ground, the gaming community is left to ponder the implications of natural disasters on our digital escapism. As we await the patch’s release, one can’t help but reflect on how interconnected our world has become, where real-life events can ripple through the gaming landscape. Will this delay affect player engagement, or will the anticipation only heighten the excitement for the new features?
