Elden Ring is set to make a grand entrance on the Nintendo Switch 2 with its Tarnished Edition, bringing with it a slew of exciting new features. FromSoftware, the masterminds behind this epic adventure, are adding new character classes and fresh looks for Torrent, the beloved spirit horse, to enhance the gaming experience.
At the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, the developers unveiled tantalizing details about the upcoming Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Among the highlights are two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics remain scarce beyond their names and aesthetics, these classes will come with two of the four new armor sets exclusive to the Tarnished Edition. The other two armor sets can be obtained in-game, alongside new weapons and skills that were teased during the event.
For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's more to look forward to as well. The Tarnished Edition introduces three new appearances for Torrent, adding a personalized touch to your journey through the Lands Between. This content, bundled with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which FromSoftware has promised to offer at a budget-friendly price, according to RPG Site.
The introduction of new classes is a strategic move, especially since many players will likely start fresh on the Switch 2 and might appreciate the novelty. For those who have already immersed themselves in Elden Ring on other platforms, these additions could provide a compelling reason to dive back into the game.
Elden Ring's massive success, with over 30 million sales worldwide, speaks volumes about its appeal and influence in the gaming community. As it prepares to launch on the Switch 2, there's no doubt that this number will continue to grow, drawing in both new and returning players.
While no specific release date has been announced yet for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or the Tarnished Pack DLC, we know they are slated for a 2025 release. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the launch date.
