Elden Ring PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S players can look forward to new DLC when the game A tarnished edition lands on Nintendo Switch 2. Elden Ring was a landmark release when it dropped in 2022, garnering universal critical acclaim, selling millions of units, and even winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards. FromSoftware could leave Elden Ring itself after its wildly successful launch, but instead supported it through free content updates and a massive paid expansion.
Elden RingThe Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was just as popular as the base game and even managed to be nominated for Game of the Year itself, despite being DLC and not a full re-release. Elden Ring fans hungry for more shouldn't hold their breath for another Shadow of the Erdtree-sized expansion, but there's still some new DLC to look forward to in the near future.
FromSoftware's Rumored Pirate Game should definitely be more Bloodborne than Elden Ring
Rumor has it that FromSoftware is working on a secret pirate game, and hopefully it's taking more notes from Bloodborne than Elden Ring.
Elden Ring DLC confirmed for August 28th
FromSoftware confirmed this Elden Ring will receive new DLC on August 28th in the form of the Tarnished Pack. While all the specifics have yet to be revealed, we do know that the Tarnished Pack will include two new classes (Heavy Knight and Knight of Ides), new weapons, skins, and Torrent customization. You can see some of these new items in the Switch 2 trailer Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. FromSoftware hasn't said how much the Tarnished Pack will cost outside of Japan, where it will sell for ¥550, but it's thought to likely cost around $5.
All content that makes up the Tarnished Pack will be baked into the Nintendo Switch version of the game 2. Launch day and date as Tarnished Pack DLC, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition brings the open-world epic to Switch 2 with the aforementioned new content, plus the base game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition it's $79.99 on the Switch 2, and those who pre-order can get the “Ring Pose” and “Mikela's Ring” emotes, which can also be earned by playing co-op with someone who already has the emotes.

Some Elden Ring fans may be drawn back to the game by the new cosmetic DLC, but others may be looking forward to what's next from FromSoftware. Another game from FromSoftware is Duskbloodsa Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive that looks to be more multiplayer focused Bloodywhich is expected to be released by the end of the year. What will happen next is anyone's guess.
An Elden Ring movie is on the way, so perhaps FromSoftware will want to capitalize on that with the new one Elden Ring game. Alternatively, it could revert to one of its other IPs, e.g An axe, Bloody, Dark soulsor Armored Core. But the most likely scenario is that another FromSoftware game after that Duskbloods will be something completely new and original, because the developer likes to experiment and introduce a new IP instead of relying on its established properties. FromSoftware fans can look forward to the news Elden Ring DLC meanwhile on August 28th.
