Elden Ring
As reported by the well-known modder Lance McDonald, in the game files introduced with Elden Ring patch 1.07 there are references to two new maps absent in the game, as well as the implementation of ray tracing.FromSoftware had already confirmed the arrival of ray tracing in Elden Ring before the launch of the game. However, with an update published in February, the Japanese study had made it clear that this implementation would take some time and therefore could not offer a precise timing. The fact that ray tracing is mentioned in the new lines of code added with Elden Ring Patch 1.07 bodes well that this technology will soon be supported by the game.
As previously said, among the update files references were also found of two new maps so far absent in the game, which could very well be connected to an expansion of Elden Ring, which in many practically give for granted given the great commercial success of the game and the precedents of FromSoftware. We'll see.
Elden Ring Patch 1.07 has made several changes and fixed several bugs and various problems. The most interesting change is the introduction of a separate balance for PvP matches, which should make player duels more engaging.

Elden Ring update 1.07 patch notes: NEW download is bigger than the Lands Between itself
There's a brand new Elden Ring update for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC. The new Elden Ring download will need to be installed before playing online in player-vs-player. Speaking of which, the headline new feature is the separate scaling damage for PvP. According to FromSoftware, the feature allows separate damage scaling for Weapons, Skills, Spells, and Incantations when playing against other players. There's a chance it will eventually be used to balance the same elements in invading/PvP mode.
Elsewhere, players can expect increased stamina attack power in PvP for all attacks against guarded foes, as well as increased poise damage for every weapon's normal attack.
Ashes of War in PvP has been lowered across the board, while Dragonfire, Agheel's Flame, Glintstone Breath, Smarag's Glintstone Breath, Rotten Breath, Ekzykes's Decay, Dragonice, Borealis's Mist and Unendurable Frenzy have also been lowered.
In addition to the aforementioned balance changes, FromSoftware has made a shedload of bug fixes.
This includes the removal of a bug preventing users from obtaining certain items, as well as an issue with action inputs, player control and lots more.
