Alongside Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition landing on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28, 2026, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco are also releasing the Tarnished Pack separately, a €4.99 add-on for players on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC who don't need to buy the whole game again.
Heavy Knight: the safe tank pick for newcomers
Heavy Knight arrives in black heavy-plated armor wielding a curved greatsword, with no shield. The class starts with high Vigor, Endurance and Strength, built entirely around durable, armored melee combat. Thanks to its high survivability and forgiving nature, Heavy Knight is widely considered the safest starting pick for players new to Elden Ring.
Idus Knight: speed and the Milady sword
Idus Knight comes with its own armor set, a shield and the light Milady sword, leaning into speed and agility rather than raw power. It's a second sword-focused option alongside the base game's existing Samurai class.
Torrent gets three new cosmetic skins
Beyond the two classes, the Tarnished Pack also adds three cosmetic skins for Torrent, the spectral steed, and four exclusive armor sets not found in the base game or Shadow of the Erdtree, letting returning players refresh their run without waiting for a full story expansion.
