Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the exciting Tarnished Edition, promising a few delightful bonuses for fans. FromSoftware's epic adventure is expanding with new classes and fresh appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.
At the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, intriguing details about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition were unveiled. Among the highlights are two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." Though specifics remain sparse beyond their names and aesthetics, these classes will be part of four new armor sets, with the other two obtainable within the game itself. Additionally, more new weapons and skills were teased, adding even more depth to the gameplay.
For those who cherish their spirit horse Torrent, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be included in the Tarnished Edition. This content, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree, will be part of the package. Moreover, FromSoftware has confirmed that these additions will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which is expected to be priced affordably, according to RPG Site.
The introduction of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially for players starting fresh on the Switch 2. It offers a chance to experience the game with a new twist, which could be appealing to those who have already delved deep into Elden Ring on other platforms.
Elden Ring has achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide, and its arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 could further boost these impressive numbers.
While no specific release date has been announced yet for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are slated to launch sometime in 2025.
