ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition

The Lands Between Goes Portable

ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition brings FromSoftware's vast open-world action RPG to Nintendo Switch 2. The journey begins in a realm left decaying after the Elden Ring shattered, with the exiled Tarnished called back by Grace. Your path through that broken kingdom leads toward one goal: surviving long enough to claim the title of Elden Lord.

Open Fields Hide Layered Dungeons

The Lands Between connects broad outdoor spaces with enormous, intricately built dungeons. Exploration rewards attention to terrain, hidden routes, and enemy placement, since the same knowledge that uncovers secrets can also turn a dangerous fight in your favor. Invading players can even be lured into traps built around the environment.

Every Build Changes the Fight

Character creation extends well beyond appearance, with weapons, armor, consumable items, magic, and summons shaping how each encounter plays. Direct physical attacks, careful spellcasting, and stealth all have equipment paths to support them. Combat remains approachable at the input level, but timing, avoidance, and exploiting weaknesses determine whether a boss falls.

Other Tarnished Can Help or Hunt You

Up to two Nintendo Switch 2 players can join as cooperative partners through shared passwords or nearby summoning pools. Competitive options include invasions, invited duels, and battles across three Colosseums. The $79.99 edition launches August 28, 2026, giving Nintendo players a version built around both solitary discovery and the unpredictable presence of other adventurers.
