Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the exciting new Tarnished Edition. FromSoftware, the masterminds behind this epic adventure, have revealed that this edition will come with a host of new features, including new classes and fresh appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.
At the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, new details about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition were unveiled. Two new character classes, the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight," will be introduced. While specific details about these classes are scarce beyond their names and appearances, they are part of a broader package that includes four new armor sets, with two of them available in-game. Fans can also look forward to new weapons and skills that were teased during the event.
For those who cherish their loyal spirit horse, Torrent, the game is set to offer three new looks for the steed. These new appearances will be part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which also includes the acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree content. However, FromSoftware has announced that these additions will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be priced affordably according to RPG Site.
The introduction of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially as players starting new games on the Switch 2 might appreciate the variety. This additional content could be a welcome bonus for those who have already delved deep into Elden Ring on other platforms.
Elden Ring's impact cannot be overstated, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide—a monumental achievement. With its arrival on the Switch 2, it's likely that these numbers will continue to soar.
While no specific release date has been announced for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are slated to launch sometime in 2025.
