FromSoftware has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 Tarnished edition of Elden Ring will bring two new character classes for players to start their nest run with, just three years after the game was released.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct did a lot to cement the new Nintendo platform as a third-party powerhouse, with the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Street Fighter 6 announced for the handheld.
