It’s been a long time coming, but Elden Ring Tarnished Edition finally has its release date on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is due out on August 28, 2026.
FromSoftware was originally planning on having the port wrapped up for 2026. However, that didn’t happen as the company announced a delay last October. FromSoftware cited the need for “game performance adjustments”.
Members of the media as well as fans were able to go hands-on with Elden Ring at Gamescom last August. The demo version indicated that performance was not stable. Rather than shipping out a poor port, FromSoftware decided to give development extra time.
The good news is that the extra work seems to have paid off. Following new hands-on sessions in March, there were reports that performance had improved. You can check out footage from the latest build here.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will offer the base game plus the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Fans can also look forward to new armor, weapon, and customization features for Torrent’s appearance.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will be available at retail as well as on the Nintendo eShop.
