Bandai Namco, the publisher, and From Software, the developer of “Dark Souls 3,” released on Wednesday, April 12, Patch App version 1.13. The update added a new level, new arena, and a lot of improvements on board. The patch is the final gift to the action role-playing game.
VG24/7 reports that the focus of Patch App version 1.13 is the PvP mode of “Dark Souls 3” plus some changes to individual weapons. The update also introduces significant changes to the system governing summons and invasions. Bandai Namco added a Round Plaza or a new flat PvP arena to the Undead Match PvP list.

Patch App Version 1.13 was released on PC and PlayStation 4 on Wednesday. On Friday, the update for “Dark Souls 3” would release on Xbox One.
