‘Elden Ring’ Is Getting New DLC On PlayStation, Xbox And PC As ‘Tarnished Edition’ Heads To Nintendo Switch 2

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition was revealed recently for the Nintendo Switch 2, but the new content coming with the game’s release is making its way to PlayStation, Xbox and PC as well in the form of the Tarnished Pack DLC, revealed at the FromSoftware Games Event Spring 2025 as reported by Famitsu.

There’s not a lot of new content, but what we are getting is pretty cool. Two new starting classes are headed to FromSoftware’s sprawling RPG, as well as three new looks for Torrent, your trusty spirit mount. Four new armor sets are also coming to the game, two of which come with the new starting classes.

The two new starting classes are, according to the translation from Japanese, the Knight Of Ides and the Heavy Armored Knight (or Heavy Knight) though it’s possible these will be called something different at release. The Knight Of Ides is of particular interest, since the starting class comes with a very hard-to-get Light Greatsword: Milady, a late-game weapon found in Castle Ensis in the Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion. The sword scales with Strength and Dexterity and includes the powerful Wing Stance. It’s a versatile and quick blade, combining the power of a Greatsword with the speed and elegance of a much lighter weapon.

The Knight Of Ides appears to have an armor set based on the Fluted Knight set from Demon’s Souls – one of my favorite armor sets in all the Souls games. The Heavy Armored Knight has a much, er, heavier looking set of plate armor and carries what appears to be a falchion-style Greatsword.

Beyond this, Nintendo’s website lists “new weapons” so we should expect more than just armor and Torrent skins, though what these weapons are remains a mystery. The Famitsu piece also says “four new pieces of armor, weapons and combat techniques will be added” which is a bit confusing (is it pieces or sets? How many weapons?) Another question mark is whether this DLC will be free or paid, with conflicting reports muddying the waters. There is no release date for the Tarnished Edition or Tarnished Pack beyond 2025 at this time.

Before then, Elden Ring: Nightreign releases on May 30th, 2025. This is a standalone multiplayer release that’s quite different from anything the studio has released in the past. Another title, The Duskbloods, will bring yet more multiplayer-centric experiences to the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. I’m a little nervous about this new focus on multiplayer games which FromSoftware is clearly doubling down on following the success of Elden Ring. But hey, new DLC is cool.
