Summary

  • August 28 is the release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the full game to Nintendo’s new handheld-focused console.
  • The package includes Shadow of the Erdtree plus new content—2 starting classes, additional armor pieces and Torrent customization—rather than a straight port.
  • Players on Xbox, PlayStation and PC will also get the new extras that day, but as paid DLC instead of part of a bundled edition.
  • The launch follows an earlier delay of the Switch 2 version, extending FromSoftware’s push onto Nintendo hardware ahead of The Duskbloods, still slated for 2026.
