Elden Ring Dataminer Restores Functionality to Mysterious Colosseum Area
It didn't take Elden Ring fans all that long to dive into the game's files to seek out hidden and unfinished content. Dataminers have found all kinds of things by perusing Elden Ring's files, including evidence that the game was once going to have a bestiary and a quest about investigating NPCs' dreams. Dataminers also discovered unused coliseum areas that they predicted were either being saved for DLC or were cut from the game, and now more information on how exactly those would've functioned has come to light.
Elden Ring YouTuber Sekiro Dubi managed to restore functionality to one of the coliseums, giving fans more insight into exactly how they will work if they are DLC or would have worked if they are simply cut content. In their investigation, Sekiro Dubi found a Site of Grace inside what the game has seemingly labeled the Leyndell Colosseum (assumed based on a similar string found in the files called «Stormveil Colosseum»), and then in the actual arena, they found two enemies fighting each other.

It's basically a classic gladiator set-up, with a humanoid enemy fighting a lion-like beast, labeled Gladiator Large and Old Lion of the Arena, respectively. The two Elden Ring enemies fight to the death, and Sekiro Dubi uses the opportunity to show viewers other parts of the arena. It's clearly inspired by the Roman Colosseum, and it would have been interesting to see it implemented in the final product.
In the video, Sekiro Dubi presents two possibilities for the Leyndell Colosseum and the other ones dotted around Elden Ring's open world. One possibility is that FromSoftware planned on including them only to change its mind at some point during development and cut them.
