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

Exciting news for fans of Elden Ring: the game is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 with a special edition called the "Tarnished Edition." This version will come packed with additional content, including new character classes and fresh appearances for your trusty steed, Torrent. During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, FromSoftware unveiled these exciting updates.

The Tarnished Edition introduces two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." While details on these classes are sparse, they will each come with unique armor sets. Alongside these, two additional armor sets will be available to discover within the game itself. FromSoftware also teased the inclusion of new weapons and skills, promising to expand the gameplay experience even further.

For those who have bonded with Torrent, the spirit horse will receive three new appearances, adding a personal touch to your adventures. These enhancements, along with the "Shadow of the Erdtree" content, are part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. However, FromSoftware has confirmed that these new features will also be available on other platforms through the "Tarnished Pack" DLC, which will be priced affordably.

Introducing new classes is a smart move, especially for players starting fresh on the Switch 2. It offers a chance to experience Elden Ring with a new twist, which could be particularly appealing to those who've already explored the game on other consoles. With Elden Ring surpassing 30 million sales worldwide, this release is poised to attract even more players to its vast and challenging world.

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. Keep an eye out for more details as we approach the release.
