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, bringing along exciting new features and bonuses. FromSoftware's epic adventure will introduce fresh elements, such as new character classes and additional appearances for the beloved steed, Torrent.

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, as reported by Famitsu, some intriguing details about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition were unveiled. The event highlighted two new character classes: the "Knight of Ides" and "Heavy Armored Knight." While specifics remain scarce, these classes will come with distinct looks and will be part of four new armor sets. Two of these sets will be included in the Tarnished Edition, while the others can be acquired in-game. Additionally, new weapons and skills were teased, adding further depth to the gameplay experience.

For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news as well. The Tarnished Edition will feature three new appearances for Torrent. These enhancements will not only be available in the Tarnished Edition but will also be accessible on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which FromSoftware promises will be offered at a low price, according to RPG Site.

Introducing new classes is a strategic move, especially considering many players will start fresh on the Switch 2 and may appreciate the novelty. This addition could entice those who have already explored Elden Ring on other platforms to dive back in with new experiences right from the start.

Elden Ring's immense popularity is undeniable, having surpassed 30 million sales worldwide. This monumental success is likely to continue growing as the game reaches the Nintendo Switch 2 audience.

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 further updates as the release date approaches.
