Elden Ring for Nintendo Switch 2 Faces Release Delay
Nintendo Switch 2 users anticipating the arrival of “Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition” will have to exercise some patience. FromSoftware has postponed the game’s launch from 2025 to a later date in 2026. The announcement was made via a post on X, where the company expressed its commitment to improving performance for the Switch 2 port.
Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Delayed
FromSoftware is dedicated to ensuring that the gaming experience meets player expectations. The studio explained that the delay is necessary for performance adjustments to enhance gameplay.
Reasons for the Delay
- To perform extensive adjustments for better performance.
- To address issues reported during Gamescom, which highlighted frame rate drops and graphical problems.
- To refine the overall gameplay experience before release.
The feedback from Gamescom indicated that the Switch 2 version struggled with performance, particularly during dynamic gameplay. In contrast, other titles like “Split Fiction” and “Cyberpunk 2077” have successfully showcased the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 since its launch.
The Future of Elden Ring on Switch 2
The delayed release is anticipated to include the base game along with the popular “Shadow of the Erdtree” expansion. Players eager to explore the Lands Between will benefit from the additional development time.
Overall, the decision reflects FromSoftware’s commitment to delivering a high-quality game that resonates with its diverse audience.
