Bandai Namco and From Software has announced that the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will release for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28. Additionally, the new inclusions of the edition will release on other platforms as part of a DLC that will launch the same day.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition was initially delayed out of 2026 due to needing extra development time to optimize the game’s performance. While neither From Software or Bandai Namco revealed any new footage for the upcoming port, its possible that more will be shown at an upcoming Nintendo Direct. Additionally, From Software will also release The Duskbloods for Nintendo Switch 2 later this year as well. Check out the announcement for the release date of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition below:

Final Weapon reviewed Elden Ring Nightreign and gave it a 4.5 out 5 score. We stated that the game “understands its own identity and hones in on that. The returning bosses are a treat for older FromSoftware players, and the new mechanics are fun yet challenging to wrap your head around.
