Elden Ring Tarnished Edition releases on Nintendo Switch 2 today

gamingAug 28, 202636505

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 today, delivering the Tarnished Pack’s new weapons, armor, and two new starting classes. Players are zeroing in on concrete changes like the inclusion of Lucatiel’s outfit and a patch that buffed Rellana’s swords, with streamers launching fresh runs locked into the new class gear and staging invasions against fellow Duskblood Machine owners. The release has prompted a wave of people rebuying the game for Switch 2, late-night streams exploring new builds, and conversations about the port’s technical compromises alongside debate over the small paid DLC.

It's weird to be a big fan of Dark Souls 1+2 and Elden Ring and also not have much knowledge of newer soulslikes, because I'm seeing people say that Mortal Shell 2 needs balance patches and I'm like soulslikes have balance?? When did that happen??

I saw someone be like "it's no fun being 1-2 shotted by basic enemies" and I feel like my entire world has been shaken. Next you'll be telling me the hitboxes are supposed to work!

It's odd yeah? What happened to community trauma bonding over getting our ass kicked by a tough boss.

But, every souls like needs Patches.

It's even odder to me about it being asked for in a souls game without online. Like sibling, you are the balance. Getting killed in one hit? Farm up your health.

The problem is the word "soulslike". The genre became popular, which drew people to it because it's popular, but when they realized people were serious when they said the games were hard, they felt excluded when they couldn't enjoy them. So they complained. Popularity ruins genres.

But those games got patched too. Everyone made tons of posts about beating Radahn before the nerf.

Glad Elden Ring is coming to the Switch 2. It’ll be nice to play something more fair and relaxing than Pokémon Champions.

I am very tempted to buy Elden Ring on the Switch 2 as I never have played it before. Though I have never played a Souls game before either.

I would say elden ring is the best and most accessible option to get into the genre! Go for it!

souls games are character building. you have to learn to enjoy failure, and be willing to struggle. elden ring is not a bad place to start.

If you've never played a souls-like game before, the only caution I would prove you is that it may not be the best option if you take frustration really harshly, or get upset very easily - but it can be an incredibly fun and satisfying experience!

It’s an amazing game BUT extremely difficult. It took me a year to beat it properly. If you do get it choose your build carefully and be prepared to die A LOT

It's probably the best entry to souls games, so much to discover, so many options for builds

Elden Ring took over my life, and if you liked Bloodborne, you will love it. The environment alone took my breath away on several occasions, and one of two games I bout twice so i could have it on PS5 and Steam Deck

✨ A HUGE thank you to Bandai Namco Europe for sending me Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2! I'll have a video out in the coming days covering the new bits of lore from the Tarnished Pack! I'm shaking from excitement, I'm so so lucky to have this opportunity! ✨

While the Switch 2 edition isn’t the most technically impressive version of Elden Ring, it is one that runs just well enough to possibly be my favorite way to play. Read more from @andrewrweb.bsky.social:

Big day for old games on Switch 2, as Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 and Elden Ring Tarnished Edition are now available. Sadly no Game Boy titles in the Elden Ring bundle…
