Elden Ring fans have something exciting to look forward to in 2025 as an update is set to bring new content to the beloved game. This update will introduce a variety of new armors, weapons, and customization options for the mount, Torrent. Gamers who have been enjoying the expansive world of Elden Ring will soon have even more options to enhance their gameplay experience.
The update will coincide with the release of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for the Nintendo Switch 2 in late 2025. This edition will bundle the original game with the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. But don’t worry if you’re not a Switch 2 owner—the new content will also be available for players on other platforms.
Since its debut in 2022, Elden Ring has captured the hearts of gamers globally, establishing itself as a major success. FromSoftware has consistently supported the game with free updates that not only improve its features but also tackle various issues. In 2024, Elden Ring expanded its universe with Shadow of the Erdtree, a massive DLC that garnered praise and even snagged a Game of the Year nomination at The Game Awards.
As FromSoftware prepares to roll out Elden Ring Nightreign in May and the co-op adventure, The Duskbloods, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, it’s clear that they haven’t finished with updates for the original Elden Ring. Fans eagerly await the 2025 update, although an exact release date hasn’t been confirmed.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition was revealed during a recent Nintendo Direct, set to make its debut on the Switch 2 in 2025. This special edition includes the full game and the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, along with the new armors, weapons, and mount customization features. More information about this release will likely emerge over the coming months, building anticipation among Switch 2 users.
Interestingly, while Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition will grace the Switch 2, there hasn’t been any announcement regarding Elden Ring Nightreign for the console, despite its co-op and roguelite elements seemingly perfect for the platform. Nonetheless, Nintendo fans can anticipate enjoying the original Elden Ring and its enriched content on the Switch 2 soon.
