Elden Ring Is Getting Two New Classes with Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished Edition

Elden Ring is making waves once again as it prepares to launch on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, featuring the Tarnished Edition. Fans are buzzing with excitement over the inclusion of new features, such as additional classes and exciting updates for Torrent, the loyal steed. According to Famitsu, the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" in Tokyo unveiled intriguing details about what players can expect from the Tarnished Edition.

Among the highlights are two brand-new character classes introduced to enhance replayability. Translated by RPG Site, these classes are the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight," offering fresh gameplay experiences for adventurers. Alongside these classes, four new armor sets are promised, with two available directly through the Tarnished Edition and the remaining two obtainable within the game. Additionally, hints were dropped regarding new weapons and skills, adding depth to the already expansive combat system.

Torrent, beloved companion to players, isn't being left out either. The spirit horse will receive three distinct new appearances, ensuring that even Torrent gets a touch of customization. This content, bundled in the Tarnished Edition alongside the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, will also be made available across other platforms via the Tarnished Pack DLC. As stated by FromSoftware, this DLC will be offered at an affordable price, making it accessible to all fans.

These additions are particularly appealing given the game's growing popularity. Since its release, Elden Ring has achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales globally. Its arrival on the Switch 2 is expected to further extend its reach and captivate even more players.

While no specific release dates have been announced for either the Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 or the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are confirmed to launch sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as this legendary journey unfolds on new platforms.
