Elden Ring is making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition, and FromSoftware is bringing some exciting new content to the table. The upcoming release will feature new classes and appearances for the beloved spirit steed, Torrent, ensuring that players have fresh experiences to dive into.

At the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, details emerged about the new additions to Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Two new character classes were introduced: the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics on these classes are sparse beyond their names and appearances, they are part of four new armor sets, with the other two available to unlock within the game. Additionally, new weapons and skills were hinted at, promising to enrich the gameplay further.

For those who cherish their companion Torrent, the spirit horse will receive three new appearances. These enhancements are not exclusive to the Switch 2; they will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which FromSoftware has promised will be priced affordably.

The introduction of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially considering many players may start fresh files on the Switch 2. This addition offers a chance to explore the game with new strategies and styles, appealing to both newcomers and seasoned players who have already experienced Elden Ring on other platforms.

Elden Ring's widespread success is evident, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide. This monumental achievement underscores the game's appeal and suggests that its arrival on the Switch 2 could further boost its popularity.

While specific release dates for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Tarnished Pack DLC have yet to be announced, both are slated for a 2025 launch. Fans of the game can look forward to more adventures in the Lands Between with these exciting new features.
