Elden Ring is set to expand its horizons with the upcoming release of the "Tarnished Edition" on the Nintendo Switch 2, promising new content that will delight fans. During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, exciting details were shared about what players can expect from this new edition.

The Tarnished Edition introduces two fresh character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes come with their unique aesthetics and are part of a larger set of four new armor sets, two of which will be exclusive to the Tarnished Edition, while the other two can be earned within the game. Additionally, players can look forward to new weapons and skills that were teased during the event.

For those who have grown fond of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be available in the Tarnished Edition. This edition also includes the "Shadow of the Erdtree" content. Fans on other platforms need not worry, as FromSoftware has confirmed that the new content will be accessible through the "Tarnished Pack DLC," which will be offered at a budget-friendly price.

Introducing new classes and content is a smart move, especially considering many players will likely start fresh on the Switch 2. This approach not only refreshes the experience for newcomers but also adds value for those who have already explored Elden Ring on other platforms.

Elden Ring's massive success, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide, underscores its popularity and the anticipation for its arrival on the Switch 2. While no specific release date has been announced for the Tarnished Edition on the Switch 2 or the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are slated to launch sometime in 2025.
