"Elden Ring Adds Two Classes in Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished Edition"

Authore: AaronUpdate:May 07,2025

Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the exciting "Tarnished Edition," promising a slew of new content to enhance your adventure. Revealed at the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" in Tokyo on May 6, the presentation showcased some intriguing updates for fans eagerly awaiting this version.

The Tarnished Edition introduces two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes are part of a broader update that includes four new armor sets, with two exclusive to the edition and the other two obtainable in-game. Additionally, the update teases more new weapons and skills, promising to deepen the gameplay experience.

For fans of Torrent, the loyal spirit horse, there's good news as well. Torrent will be getting three new appearances, adding a fresh look to your trusty steed. While these features are bundled in the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which also includes the "Shadow of the Erdtree" content, FromSoftware has announced that these new additions will be available on other platforms through the "Tarnished Pack DLC." This DLC will be offered at a budget-friendly price, making it accessible to a wide range of players.

The introduction of new classes is a smart move, especially considering that many players will start fresh on the Switch 2 and might appreciate the variety. This new content could be particularly appealing to those who have already explored Elden Ring on other platforms and are looking for something new to dive into.

Elden Ring has already achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide. As it becomes available on the Nintendo Switch 2, there's a strong chance this number will continue to soar.

While no specific release date has been announced for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Switch 2 or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are expected to launch sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the release.
