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

Elden Ring is set to captivate Nintendo Switch 2 players in 2025. The exciting announcement came during Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct, stirring anticipation among fans. While details on how the Switch 2 version will compare to its counterparts on other platforms remain under wraps, the spotlight on Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition during the presentation suggests a thrilling experience is in store for Nintendo enthusiasts this year.

Since its launch in February 2022, Elden Ring has become a cultural phenomenon, amassing over 13 million sales in just one month and reaching nearly 29 million units sold to date. The game has seen remarkable feats, such as bosses being defeated using the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller and sparking intense speedrunning challenges. Following its success, the game received the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in 2023. Additionally, the upcoming cooperative spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign, has shown promising results in early public network test sessions.

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, with IGN noting, "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 announce a specific release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, nor have they detailed how this version will differ from previous releases.
