Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition. FromSoftware's epic adventure is bringing along some exciting new content, including new character classes and fresh appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.
During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, the developers unveiled key details about what fans can expect from Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Among the highlights are two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics on these classes remain scarce beyond their names and appearances, they are part of a broader update that includes four new armor sets, with two available in-game and the others included in the Tarnished Edition. Additionally, new weapons and skills were teased, promising to add more depth to the already rich gameplay experience.
For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be introduced in the Tarnished Edition. This content, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, will be part of the package. Moreover, FromSoftware has announced that these additions will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be offered at a budget-friendly price, according to RPG Site.
The introduction of new classes is a clever move, especially considering that many players will be starting fresh on the Switch 2. It offers a chance to mix things up and provides an immediate boost of new content for those who have already explored Elden Ring extensively on other platforms.
Elden Ring's success cannot be overstated, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide. This monumental achievement underscores the game's widespread appeal, and its arrival on the Switch 2 is poised to further expand its reach.
While no specific release date has been set for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are slated to launch sometime in 2025. Fans of the series have plenty to look forward to in the coming year.
