Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition, promising an array of exciting new features. During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, FromSoftware unveiled some intriguing additions that fans can look forward to.
The Tarnished Edition introduces two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes come with unique aesthetics and are part of a broader set of four new armors, two of which will be obtainable within the game itself. Alongside these, the edition teases the introduction of new weapons and skills, enhancing the already vast Elden Ring experience.
For fans of Torrent, the beloved spirit horse, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be available in the Tarnished Edition. This edition not only includes the expansive Shadow of the Erdtree content but also promises to bring these enhancements to other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which FromSoftware has stated will be priced affordably.
The inclusion of new classes is particularly exciting, especially for players starting fresh on the Switch 2, offering a chance to explore Elden Ring with different strategies and playstyles. This move could be particularly appealing to those who have already experienced the game on other platforms and are eager for fresh content.
Elden Ring's monumental success cannot be overstated, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide. This achievement underscores the game's widespread appeal and suggests that its arrival on the Switch 2 could further boost its already impressive numbers.
While specific release dates for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Tarnished Pack DLC remain under wraps, both are slated for a 2025 launch. Fans eagerly await further details as the year progresses.
