Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Receives ESRB Rating, Indicating Possible Nintendo Switch 2 Release Soon

Anticipation Builds for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2

The highly awaited Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition might soon be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This new variant of the acclaimed action role-playing game, developed by FromSoftware, has recently received a rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States.

Although Elden Ring has been accessible on multiple platforms for some time, the ESRB rating alone may not have sparked much excitement—especially since the release date was unknown. However, the timing of this rating, just ahead of this week’s Bandai Namco showcase, hints that an announcement regarding the release date could be imminent.

What to Expect in the Tarnished Edition

Initially showcased during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event in April, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition promises to excite both newcomers and veteran players. This edition will introduce a host of new features, including:

Two new starting classes
Four additional armor sets
New weapons and skills
Three customization options for Torrent
Various quality-of-life improvements (specifics yet to be announced)

In addition to these enhancements, fans can look forward to experiencing the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which will bring a second map and a variety of formidable new enemies to challenge players.

Release Date on the Horizon

The exact launch date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 has not yet been confirmed, but as anticipation continues to build, it’s clear that this edition will be a significant addition to the gaming lineup.
