Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition to add new classes, weapons, armour and more

Back during the Nintendo Switch 2’s blowout reveal, one of the biggest 3rd-party titles to be announced for the upcoming console was Elden Ring. Dubbed the ‘Tarnished Edition’, the Switch 2 release is set to add a couple extra bits of bonus content – the details of which have now been shared.

As reported by the Japanese publication Famitsu (and translated by Eurogamer), the list of new content being included with the Switch 2 version of Elden Ring – the Tarnished Edition – has now been revealed.

Though these new additions will be made available as DLC for current platforms, the Switch 2 edition of Elden Ring will include two new starting classes: ‘Knight of Ides’ and ‘Heavy Knight’.

Alongside these classes, the Tarnished Edition also includes 3 new customisation options for your mount ‘Torrent’ as well as 4 additional types of armour; weapons and combat techniques.

As mentioned, FromSoftware previously confirmed that all of the added content from the Tarnished Edition will be available as DLC for current owners of the game on other platforms. Whether this will be paid DLC or available for free, we will have to wait and see.

Either way, with Elden Ring getting a spin-off in the form of Nightreign and now the Switch 2 version adding new content, fans of FromSoft and Elden Ring will have plenty to enjoy in 2025.
