So, Bandai Namco and Elden Ring decided to announce the details of what Switch 2 players can expect from Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, and let me tell you, it’s a whole lot of stuff 🤯. The game will come with Shadow of the Erdtree, two new Starting Classes, new character armor, and the ability to customize Torrent, your trusty Spectral Steed 🐴.

The original Elden Ring received over 400 Game of the Year nominations and sold 30 million units worldwide 🚀. I mean, it’s not like it’s a big deal or anything 🙄. The game’s dark fantasy world was imagined by Hidetaka Miyazaki, creator of the Dark Souls series, and George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire 📚. So, you know, no big names or anything 🤣.
Finally, Nintendo Switch 2 players can embark on this journey in the best way possible for handheld 📱. Because, you know, playing Elden Ring on a tiny screen is the best way to experience it 🙄. And, of course, this will be a great start to get the game’s spin-off title Elden Ring Nightrein also ported to the Nintendo Switch 2 🕰️. Because, you know, one Elden Ring game is not enough 🤣.

Early hands-on reports noted that the port edition was running sluggishly in 2025 testing 🐌, which is why they pushed the release date to 2026 🕰️.

CGMagazine’s review of Elden Ring gave the game a 9.5/10 🎉, noting how “there is always something new to tackle…the nature of the world design means that it is arguably the most accessible in the FromSoftware RPG catalogue” 📚. Nintendo players will soon be able to experience the incredible journey to become the Elden Lord 🏰. Face off against overwhelming challenges, sprawling environments, and danger at every turn in this open-world action RPG 🌐. Players will chart their own path in the vast and seamless world of the Lands Between, on foot or riding Torrent, their trusted Spectral Steed 🐴.
