Elden Ring is set to make a grand entrance on the Nintendo Switch 2 with its highly anticipated Tarnished Edition. This version of FromSoftware's expansive adventure promises to bring exciting new content, including two new character classes and fresh appearances for the beloved spirit steed, Torrent.

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, the developers unveiled some intriguing details about the upcoming Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. The event introduced two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics about these classes are scarce beyond their names and appearances, they will be part of four new armor sets included in the Tarnished Edition, with the other two sets obtainable in-game. Additionally, players can look forward to new weapons and skills that were teased during the presentation.

For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news too. The Tarnished Edition will feature three new appearances for Torrent, adding a personal touch to your journey through the Lands Between. These enhancements, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree content, will be part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. However, FromSoftware has confirmed that these new elements will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be offered at a budget-friendly price, according to RPG Site.

The addition of new classes is particularly exciting, as it caters to players starting fresh on the Switch 2, offering them a chance to experience Elden Ring with a new twist. This could be especially appealing to those who have already explored the game on other platforms and are looking for something new right from the start.

Elden Ring has already achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide. With its arrival on the Switch 2, there's no doubt that this number will continue to soar, drawing in even more players to its challenging and immersive world.

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. Fans of the game and newcomers alike have much to look forward to with these exciting updates on the horizon.
