Elden Ring Adds Two New Classes in Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished Edition

Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition, promising a range of exciting new content for fans. During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, FromSoftware unveiled some tantalizing details about what players can expect from this edition.

One of the key highlights is the introduction of two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes come with unique armors that add to the four new armor sets available in the Tarnished Edition, with the other two sets obtainable in-game. Alongside these classes, FromSoftware teased additional new weapons and skills, ensuring that players will have plenty of fresh options to explore.

For those who cherish their loyal steed Torrent, the spirit horse will also receive three new appearances, enhancing the customization options available to players. These new features will be part of the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which also includes the Shadow of the Erdtree content. Importantly, FromSoftware has confirmed that this new content will be accessible on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which will be available at a budget-friendly price.

The addition of new classes is particularly intriguing, especially for players starting fresh on the Switch 2. This new content offers an enticing reason for seasoned players to dive back into the world of Elden Ring, providing a novel experience even for those who have already explored the game on other platforms.

Elden Ring's impact cannot be overstated, having achieved a monumental milestone with over 30 million sales worldwide. This incredible success is a testament to the game's enduring 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, fans can look forward to these releases sometime in 2025.
