"Elden Ring Set for Nintendo Switch 2 Release in 2025"

Elden Ring is set to make its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, a thrilling announcement unveiled during Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct. While specifics on how this version will compare to those released on other platforms remain under wraps, the reveal has sparked excitement for the upcoming Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition among Nintendo enthusiasts.

Since its launch in February 2022, Elden Ring has emerged as a cultural phenomenon, amassing over 13 million sales within the first month and approaching 29 million units sold to date. The game has inspired unique feats such as defeating bosses using the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller and ignited ambitious speedrunning challenges. The success continued with the release of the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in 2023, followed by promising early tests of the cooperative spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign.

In our comprehensive 10/10 review, IGN praised Elden Ring, stating, "Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path." The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC also earned a perfect score from IGN: "Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a landmark RPG, condenses it into a relatively compact 20-25 hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges for heavily invested fans to chew on."

FromSoftware has yet to disclose a specific release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, nor has it detailed how this version will differ from previous iterations. For a full recap of today's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct announcements, you can explore more [ttpp].
