Elden Ring Tarnished Edition brings FromSoftware's open-world action RPG natively to Nintendo Switch 2, bundling the complete 2022 base game together with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion in a single package. Players explore the Lands Between, a fractured realm built on lore from Hidetaka Miyazaki and author George R. R. Martin, freely combining weapons, armor, spells, and incantations to shape a character around their own preferred playstyle, from heavily armored melee builds to spellcasters and hybrid fighters.
This edition adds Switch 2-specific touches on top of the existing content, including two new starting classes, extra armor sets, and new cosmetic options for the spectral steed Torrent. Docked play targets a stable 1080p experience while handheld mode keeps the game portable for the first time on Nintendo hardware, and online features let Tarnished summon cooperative allies or engage in duels and Colosseum battles against other players.
