FromSoftware's critically acclaimed masterpiece Elden Ring is galloping toward the Nintendo Switch 2 with its Tarnished Edition, bringing fresh content including brand-new character classes and Torrent customization options.

New Classes and Armor Sets Revealed

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" showcase in Tokyo, developers unveiled exciting additions headed to the Tarnished Edition. Players will discover two completely new starting classes: the enigmatic "Knight of Ides" and the formidable "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics remain scarce, these will include four new armor sets - two available immediately and two unlockable during gameplay.

The presentation also teased additional weapons and abilities coming to this expanded version of the dark fantasy epic.

Torrent Gets a Makeover

Faithful steed Torrent won't be left out of the upgrades - the spectral mount will receive three stylish new appearances. While these enhancements debut with the Switch 2's Tarnished Edition (which bundles the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion), FromSoftware confirmed existing players won't miss out. The content will be available across all platforms through the affordably priced Tarnished Pack DLC.

Perfect Timing for Switch Players

The new character options arrive at an ideal moment for Nintendo fans experiencing Elden Ring for the first time. Fresh starters on Switch 2 can enjoy novel ways to begin their journey through the Lands Between, while returning veterans might find renewed motivation through these additions.

Elden Ring continues its unprecedented success, recently surpassing 30 million copies sold worldwide. This Switch 2 release will likely propel those staggering numbers even higher when the Tarnished Edition arrives sometime in 2025.

Both the Nintendo Switch 2 version and accompanying Tarnished Pack DLC are slated for release next year, though exact dates remain under wraps.
