Elden Ring Tarnished Edition needs more polish and will now release in 2026

FromSoftware have announced that Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, which was expected to release on Nintendo Switch 2 this year, has been delayed and will now release sometime in 2026. As you might expect, the reason is to improve the quality.

Here is the statement from the games website, and below translated via Google:

We have been working hard on development in preparation for release , but we have decided to change the release date as we need more time to adjust the game's performance . We will announce the exact release date once it has been decided .

We sincerely apologize to all users who have been waiting for the release of this title for any inconvenience caused . We will make adjustments to deliver the game in the best possible way , and we appreciate your understanding .

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The content that is being added to this game that is not already in the other versions, is coming to those versions, but has been delayed as well. Given the reports from people who have gone hands on, this delay makes sense, but only time will tell if it was worth it.
