Overview

• Patch 1.2 entered Steam Beta on July 9, marking the remaster’s first major lore-adjustment update since June’s stability-focused release.
• Players who opt into the beta gain a fresh difficulty tier and key under-the-hood performance enhancements.
• The update covertly corrects the Dark Brotherhood door to feature five children and revive its signature red lighting.
• No mention of the door restoration appears in the official patch notes, reflecting Bethesda’s practice of unannounced tweaks.
• Wider deployment to consoles and other platforms remains pending as developers collect community feedback.
