Elden Ring Adds Two Classes in Switch 2 Tarnished Edition

Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition. FromSoftware's epic adventure is bringing more than just the core game to the new console; it's also introducing exciting new content, including additional character classes and fresh appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, FromSoftware unveiled details about the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Two new character classes, "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight," were introduced. Although specifics about these classes are sparse beyond their names and appearance, they are part of a broader expansion. The Tarnished Edition will include four new armor sets, with two sets available at the start and the other two obtainable within the game. Additionally, new weapons and skills were teased, promising to enrich the gameplay experience.

For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, three new appearances will be available. These enhancements, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree content, are part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. However, FromSoftware has confirmed that these additions will also be accessible on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be offered at a budget-friendly price, according to RPG Site.

The inclusion of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially since many players will likely start fresh games on the Switch 2. This new content could provide a refreshing twist for those who have already explored Elden Ring extensively on other platforms.

Elden Ring has achieved monumental success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide. This impressive milestone underscores the game's widespread appeal, and its arrival on the Switch 2 is poised to further boost its popularity.

While no specific release date has been announced for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or for the Tarnished Pack DLC, both are slated to launch sometime in 2025. Fans eagerly await more details as the release approaches.
