Summary

  • Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition adds two character classes on Nintendo Switch 2, offering new gameplay experiences.
  • New Knight of Ides and Heavy Knight classes likely focused on defense.
  • Starting class choice in Elden Ring isn’t crucial; hybrid abilities creation and protagonist respecing are possible.

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition offers two fresh character classes for Nintendo Switch 2 gamers, providing an additional incentive to explore The Lands Between and meet its terrifying monsters head-on.

During the initial presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2, Elden Ring was one of the third-party games unveiled, but it’s not the same version that players experienced on other platforms. Instead, this is the Tarnished Edition, which includes fresh skins for Torrent, as well as additional equipment and combat techniques.

In their latest update, FromSoftware unveiled fresh information about Elden Ring: The Tarnished Edition, as noticed by Famitsu. This revelation includes the introduction of two novel character classes for gamers to choose from at game start. These new options are called the Knight of Ides and the Heavy Knight.

Elden Ring’s Tarnished Edition Is Adding New Character Classes

In Elden Ring, players initially choose a character, each equipped with a starting level, statistics, gear, spells, and items. However, unlike others, the Wretch begins at the lowest level 1 and is only armed with a makeshift club for protection against the terrors of The Lands Between.

Although specifics about the Knights of Ides and the Heavy Knights remain unclear, it’s reasonable to expect they’ll sport larger frames and robust defense features. It’s also plausible that they’ll have immediate access to some fresh content when playing the Tarnished Edition.

In Elden Ring, you don’t need to worry too much about which starting class you pick because you can combine abilities from different classes and even change your protagonist’s skills later on. The initial choice is simply a way to give yourself a good foundation for the style of gameplay you prefer.

People having trouble obtaining a Nintendo Switch 2 can relax, as the content from the Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will also be available on other platforms through a paid downloadable content (DLC) pack. The exact release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is yet to be announced, but it’s expected in or after 2025, with the Tarnished Pack DLC launching at the same time.
