Elden Ring: Two New Classes Added in Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished Edition

Elden Ring is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 with the Tarnished Edition, promising a host of new features and content. At the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, exciting details were unveiled about what players can expect from this edition.

Among the new additions are two character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes come with unique appearances and are part of four new armor sets included in the Tarnished Edition. The other two armor sets will be available to unlock within the game itself. Additionally, fans can look forward to new weapons and skills, further enriching the gameplay experience.

For those who have formed a bond with Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news as well. Torrent will receive three new appearances, allowing players to customize their steed's look. This feature, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree content, will be part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. For players on other platforms, FromSoftware has announced that these new elements will be available through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be offered at a low price.

The introduction of new classes is particularly appealing for players starting fresh on the Switch 2, offering a chance to explore different playstyles. This added content could be especially enticing for those who have already experienced Elden Ring on other platforms and are looking for something new.

Elden Ring's success is undeniable, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide. This monumental achievement underscores the game's broad appeal and sets the stage for further growth as it becomes available on the Switch 2.

While specific release dates for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Tarnished Pack DLC remain unannounced, both are expected to launch sometime in 2025.
