"Elden Ring: Two New Classes for Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished Edition"

Elden Ring is set to expand its horizons with the upcoming release on the Nintendo Switch 2, introducing the "Tarnished Edition." This edition promises to bring fresh content to FromSoftware's expansive world, including new character classes and cosmetic options for the beloved steed, Torrent.

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, intriguing details about the Tarnished Edition were unveiled. As reported by Famitsu and translated by RPG Site, players can look forward to two new classes: the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight." While details are sparse, these classes will come with unique armors, two of which will be exclusive to the Tarnished Edition, with the other two obtainable in-game. Additionally, new weapons and skills were hinted at, promising to enhance the gameplay experience further.

For those who cherish their spirit horse, Torrent, there's good news: three new appearances for Torrent will be available in the Tarnished Edition. This content, along with the previously released Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, will also be accessible on other platforms through the "Tarnished Pack" DLC, which FromSoftware has promised will be available at a budget-friendly price.

The introduction of new classes is particularly exciting, especially for players starting fresh on the Switch 2. It offers a chance to experiment with different playstyles and adds a layer of novelty for those who have already explored Elden Ring on other systems. Given the game's massive success, having sold over 30 million copies worldwide, the addition of the Switch 2 to its platform lineup is poised to further boost its reach.

While an exact release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Tarnished Pack DLC remains under wraps, fans can anticipate these updates sometime in 2025. As excitement builds, the Elden Ring community eagerly awaits what new adventures and challenges await in the Lands Between.
