Elden Ring is set to make its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, as announced during Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct. While it's not yet clear how the Switch 2 version will compare to those on other platforms, the announcement has sparked excitement among fans eager to experience Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Nintendo's latest console.
Since its launch in February 2022, Elden Ring has become a cultural phenomenon, selling over 13 million copies within the first month and reaching nearly 29 million copies sold to date. The game's influence has extended to unique feats like defeating bosses with the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller and inspiring ambitious speedrunning challenges. The release of the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in 2023 further solidified its legacy, and the upcoming cooperative spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign, has shown promise in early public network test sessions.
IGN awarded Elden Ring a perfect 10/10 score, praising it as "a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path." Similarly, Shadow of the Erdtree received a 10/10, lauded for "raising the bar for single-player DLC expansions" by condensing the base game's strengths into a compact 20-25 hour campaign filled with new challenges for dedicated fans.
FromSoftware has not yet disclosed a specific release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Switch 2, nor have they detailed how it will differ from previous versions. For more information on today's announcements, you can find comprehensive coverage of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct here.
