Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the exciting "Tarnished Edition," bringing along some fresh content to enhance the gaming experience. FromSoftware's expansive adventure is gearing up to offer new classes and unique appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent, ensuring that players have even more reasons to dive back into the Lands Between.
During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, the development team unveiled exciting details about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. This edition will introduce two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics are still under wraps, these classes will come with their own unique armor sets, two of which will be part of the four new armors exclusive to the Tarnished Edition. The other two armors can be earned within the game itself. Additionally, players can look forward to new weapons and skills that promise to add depth to the gameplay.
For fans of Torrent, the spectral horse, there's good news as well. The Tarnished Edition will feature three new appearances for Torrent, allowing players to customize their companion in new and exciting ways. While these enhancements are part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which also includes the Shadow of the Erdtree content, FromSoftware has confirmed that these additions will be available on other platforms through the "Tarnished Pack DLC." According to RPG Site, this DLC will be offered at a budget-friendly price, ensuring that all players can enjoy the new content without breaking the bank.
The introduction of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially for players who are likely to start fresh files on the Nintendo Switch 2. Offering new content from the get-go can be a significant draw for those who have already experienced Elden Ring on other consoles. It provides a refreshed starting point and the opportunity to explore the game with new strategies and builds.
Elden Ring has already achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide. This incredible milestone underscores the game's widespread appeal and the potential for further growth as it launches on the Nintendo Switch 2.
While no specific release date has been announced for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, fans can look forward to these exciting additions sometime in 2025.
