by

Summary

  • Elden Ring will receive a new update in 2025 with fresh armor, weapons, and customization options for the mount, Torrent.
  • The update is part of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, set to release later in 2025 with the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
  • The new content will also be available to Elden Ring players on other platforms.

Later this year, Elden Ring is set to receive a fresh update, enriching the expansive world of this hit video game from 2022. Already a monumental success upon its debut, Elden Ring has joined the ranks of all-time bestsellers and top-rated games. Post-launch, developer FromSoftware has been regularly providing free content updates for the game, introducing helpful features, offering new content for enthusiasts to explore, and addressing various gameplay issues.

2024 saw the launch of Elden Ring’s sole expansion pack to date, the colossal Shadow of the Erdtree. This expansion garnered near-universal praise, similar to the original game, and has been lauded as one of the greatest video game DLC expansions ever created. In truth, Shadow of the Erdtree was so well-received that it even secured a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024.

It appears FromSoftware is planning to release Elden Ring Nightreign towards the end of May, and The Duskbloods on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Given these upcoming releases, one might think that updates for the original Elden Ring have ended. However, exciting news has been confirmed: a new update for Elden Ring is expected in 2025, introducing fresh armor and weapons to the game. Furthermore, fan-preferred mount Torrent will receive some customization enhancements. Unfortunately, an exact release date for this upcoming Elden Ring content hasn’t been disclosed yet.

New Elden Ring Content is on the Way

The upcoming content for Elden Ring is being released, and it’s been confirmed that this version, titled Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date in 2025. This special edition includes the main game, Shadow of the Erdtree, as well as armor, weapons, and Torrent customization options. In the coming months, we can expect to learn more about Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition.

With the announcement of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Switch 2, some might find it surprising that Elden Ring Nightreign hasn’t been unveiled for Nintendo’s latest console yet. For those not familiar, Elden Ring Nightreign is a cooperative-focused, roguelike interpretation of the Elden Ring gameplay, where teams of three traverse expansive open areas and collaborate to defeat challenging bosses. Given its nature, Elden Ring Nightreign seems tailor-made for the Switch 2, but for now, Nintendo Switch 2 owners can anticipate playing the original Elden Ring until a potential Nightreign release.
