Fresh Adventures Await in the Lands Between
Elden Ring is galloping onto the Nintendo Switch 2 with its Tarnished Edition, and FromSoftware's acclaimed RPG arrives packed with exciting new features. Reports from the recent "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" in Tokyo reveal players can expect fresh playstyles and customization options.
New Ways to Play
The Tarnished Edition introduces two distinctive starting classes that promise unique gameplay experiences. The noble "Knight of Ides" and formidable "Heavy Armored Knight" join the roster, alongside four completely new armor sets. While details remain scarce, the presentation teased additional weapons and skills that'll change how veterans approach the game.
Torrent Gets a Makeover
Your trusty spectral steed Torrent won't feel left out - three striking new appearances will let riders customize their mount's look. These visual upgrades, combined with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion content, make Tarnished Edition the most complete Elden Ring package yet.
Coming to All Platforms
While Switch 2 owners get everything bundled together, FromSoftware confirmed the new content will reach other platforms through the affordable Tarnished Pack DLC. This gives existing players on other systems opportunities to refresh their adventures.
Record-Breaking Success
Elden Ring's momentum shows no signs of slowing, having surpassed 30 million copies sold worldwide. The Switch 2 release could push these numbers even higher as Nintendo fans finally get their hands on this generation-defining RPG.
Though no exact date has been announced, both the Tarnished Edition and downloadable content pack are confirmed for 2025 releases. Whether you're a newcomer or seasoned Tarnished, there's never been a better time to return to the Lands Between.
