Previews of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2 picked up a number of problems mainly stemming from the game’s performance on Nintendo’s latest system. Now the official From Software account has announced that they have taken the hard decision to delay the release, which was scheduled for this year and it will now be released in 2026. The team at From Software will share more information on the new release date in the near future. The team thanks fans for their support.
“Regarding ELDEN RING: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, which was originally scheduled for release in 2025, we have determined that additional time is needed to further adjust the game’s performance. As a result, the release has been postponed to 2026.
We sincerely apologize to all users who have been looking forward to the launch of this title. We will continue to make adjustments to deliver the best possible experience, and we kindly ask for your understanding and patience.
Thank you very much for your continued support.”

Honestly the delay is warranted.
This is a good thing. They keep finding ways to improve the game for the system, and they’ve determined that they’ll need more time to maximize said improvements. Hopefully this means the game will run at 60fps for release. This game’s performance will determine whether or not I buy the game again
I thought this was always a 2026 game?
I think the vast majority of people who wanted to play this game already did 3 years ago on the superior PS5. This is utterly stupid lol
Yup it’s the same with the awful Final Fantasy games it’s why those flop. Also PC most played Elden Ting on that and its handheld on Steam Deck and other handheld PC’s
Agree with mybuttsayshi
We need Otogi remakes and 3
