3 articles · Updated · Nintendo Everything · Jun 5

Summary

  • FromSoftware posted new direct-feed gameplay of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, offering the clearest official look yet at the port after its release date reveal.
  • The brief video has no audio, but the footage shows no obvious major performance problems — a key point after the game slipped out of 2025 for extra optimization.
  • Official footage had been scarce since the Switch 2 reveal trailer a year ago, with most subsequent looks coming from off-screen clips last summer and improved handheld gameplay shown in March.
  • Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is now set to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2026, after FromSoftware took additional time to stabilize performance.
