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

Elden Ring is making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 with the highly anticipated Tarnished Edition. This edition promises to bring a host of exciting new content to FromSoftware's expansive adventure, including fresh character classes and new looks for the beloved spirit horse, Torrent.

During the "FROMSOFTWARE GAMES EVENT Spring 2025" held in Tokyo on May 6, new details emerged about what fans can expect from Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. According to reports from Famitsu and translations by RPG Site, two new classes will be introduced: the "Knight of Ides" and the "Heavy Armored Knight." These classes come with unique armors, with each set being part of a quartet of new armor options in the game. The other two sets will be available for players to discover within the game itself. Additionally, the event teased the inclusion of new weapons and skills, adding even more depth to the gameplay experience.

For fans of Torrent, the spirit horse, there's good news as well. Torrent will receive three new appearances, enhancing the customization options for players. These new looks, along with the Shadow of the Erdtree content, will be included in the Tarnished Edition. Moreover, FromSoftware has confirmed that these additions will also be available on other platforms through the Tarnished Pack DLC, which is expected to be priced affordably.

Introducing new classes is a smart move, especially as many players will likely start fresh files on the Switch 2. This gives them the opportunity to experiment with different playstyles and enjoy new content from the outset. For those who have already explored Elden Ring on other platforms, these additions could provide a refreshing change and renewed interest.

Elden Ring has achieved remarkable success, surpassing 30 million sales worldwide—a testament to its popularity and the anticipation for its Switch 2 debut. As the game continues to capture the hearts of gamers everywhere, it's poised to further increase its sales figures with this new release.

While no specific release date has been announced yet for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 or the Tarnished Pack DLC, fans can look forward to these updates sometime in 2025.
