Elden Ring is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition. This release promises to bring new content to FromSoftware's expansive adventure, including fresh character classes and additional appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.
During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, Famitsu reported on several exciting additions to Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Players will have the opportunity to explore two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." While details are scarce beyond their names and appearances, these classes will come with two of the four new armor sets included in the edition, with the other two obtainable in-game. Additionally, the event teased the inclusion of new weapons and skills, enhancing the gameplay experience further.
For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be available. This new content is part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which also encompasses the Shadow of the Erdtree content. Excitingly, FromSoftware has confirmed that these enhancements will also be accessible on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which is expected to be priced affordably.
The introduction of new classes is particularly appealing for players who might be starting fresh on the Switch 2, offering a novel way to experience the game. This could be especially enticing for those who have already delved deep into Elden Ring on other consoles.
Elden Ring has achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales globally. This remarkable milestone underscores the game's widespread appeal and sets the stage for even greater achievements as it launches on the Switch 2.
While specific release dates for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Tarnished Pack DLC remain undisclosed, both are slated for release sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch date.
