Elden Ring has been a massive game since it came out, and now, there's a new version called the Tarnished Edition. If you're wondering what's new and if it's worth getting, you've come to the right place. We'll break down everything that comes in this special edition.

The short answer is: the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is a complete package that includes the original game plus the huge "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion. It also comes with a bunch of exclusive digital goodies like new armors, weapons, and even some new looks for your trusty steed, Torrent.

What's Inside the Tarnished Edition?

So, what exactly do you get when you buy the Tarnished Edition? Let's look at the list:

• The Full Original Game: You get the complete Elden Ring game that won all those awards. If you've never played it, this is a great way to start.
• Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion: This is the big new part. It adds a whole new area to explore, with new bosses, stories, and challenges. I remember when the expansion was first announced; my friends and I were so hyped to have more of the Lands Between to conquer. We spent hours just speculating what the new bosses would be like.
• Exclusive Armor and Weapons: You get special gear that you can't find anywhere else in the game. When I first equipped the new Heavy Knight armor, it instantly became my favorite. It just looks so cool and offers some really solid protection, which was a lifesaver against some of the tougher enemies in the expansion.
• New Classes: The Tarnished Edition introduces new starting classes, giving you fresh ways to begin your adventure. This is perfect for players who have already beaten the game and want to try a new playstyle.
• Customization for Torrent: You can change how your horse, Torrent, looks. It’s a small touch, but it’s nice to be able to personalize your ride.

This edition is basically the ultimate version of Elden Ring. It’s perfect for new players who want everything in one package, or for longtime fans who want to experience all the new content.

The game was even shown off on the new Nintendo Switch 2, which is really exciting. Being able to play a game this huge on a handheld console is going to be amazing.

If you're planning on diving into the vast world of Elden Ring and think you might want to grab some extra in-game items or even the game itself, remember you can use Playstorm. By playing fun games on the app, you can earn points and redeem them for Nintendo eShop vouchers to use on your Switch.
