Elden Ring Will Bring Us Extra Surprises In 2025 - Nightreign, Tarnished Edition And More
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition has announced that Nightreign, a highly anticipated co-op game, will be released in May 2025. It was also announced that Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and The Duskbloods will be coming to Switch 2.
While players are still exploring secrets in Shadow of the Erdtree, FromSoftware recently announced another major news-this one of the best-selling and highest-rated video games of all time will bring more surprises to players in 2025.
Prior to this, Shadow of the Erdtree was the only DLC for Elden Ring. Since its release, it has received almost unanimous praise and has been hailed as one of the best video game DLCs of all time. In fact, Shadow of the Erdtree is indeed worthy of this praise and has even been nominated for 2024 Nebula Awards For Best Game Writing Awards.
It is precisely because of the excellence of Shadow of the Erdtree that players are more looking forward to the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign in May. In addition, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition has been announced to land on Switch 2 in 2025.
Nightreign
Elden Ring Nightreign is a three-player cooperative roguelite spin-off that will be released worldwide on May 30, 2025, and is now available for pre-order. In the game, you can team up with two other players to experience the fun of the game. Choose the character you want to play from eight characters with different abilities and characteristics, go to Limveld to accept new challenges, and strive to survive and obtain resources in the ever-changing environment.
In addition, as Night’s Tide approaches, the map will also shrink. Therefore, players must end each night by fighting powerful bosses until the third night-this night you need to fight Nightlord of your choice. Enemies, rewards, and environments will change with each game, and players need to constantly improve their strength to win the final victory.
But this game mode also surprised many people, because Elden Ring Nightreign has not yet been announced for Nintendo’s new console, but Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition has been announced for Switch 2. Perhaps this choice is hiding Developer’s own strategy.
Tarnished Edition
At the latest Nintendo Direct conference, along with Switch 2 actual machine demonstration, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition also officially announced its release plan at the end of 2025. This single package includes the basic game, Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, new armor, and a new Torrent appearance customization function. Among them, there will be a similar gear to Lucatiel of Mirrah in Diablo 4.
What players are most interested in is the new customization function of Torrent. In the trailer, many players have seen saddles with fluttering red flags. It’s just not clear whether these appearances are obtained through Elden Ring Runes. This new feature reflects from the side that the game developer wants each player’s Torrent to become a unique narrative carrier.
The Duskbloods
At the same time, there will be more news that will make Nintendo players happy. Because FromSoftware will not only launch Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition on Switch 2 in 2025, but will also launch The Duskbloods on this platform in 2026. This is a new Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game that looks like a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne in every way. It has vampires, lots of lunar references, and a style of play that is hard not to like.
While Nightreign has not yet been announced for Switch 2, at least owners of Nintendo’s new console can look forward to the fun of the original Elden Ring and the upcoming new content.
In short, more details about Elden Ring will be revealed in the coming months, and the adventure for players will never end.
