Bandai Namco and From Software have released a new “Gameplay Showcase” trailer for the upcoming release of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2. Just like the original release and its DLC, the story of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition takes Nintendo Switch 2 players to the Lands Between and the Realm of Shadow.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition launches on August 28 featuring the base game and the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion in one package. Moreover, the game will feature new armor and customization features for Torrent’s appearance. Elden Ring Tarnished Edition was initially delayed out of 2026 due to needing extra development time to optimize the game’s performance.
Digital pre-orders for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition are now available on Nintendo Switch 2 for $79.99 in the Nintendo eShop. Digital pre-orders for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition include “The Ring” and “Ring of Miquella” bonus gestures as early unlocks. The eShop also reveals the game’s file size to be 41 GB. The new content from Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will be available for purchase on all other platforms.
The game’s co-op successor, Elden Ring Nightreign, is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Final Weapon reviewed Elden Ring Nightreign and gave it a 4.5 out 5 score, stating 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.”
