The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has issued a rating for Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, which is coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
“This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a character trying to retrieve a magical ring and become the Elden Lord,” the rating reads.
“From a third-person perspective, players explore environments, collect items, and battle various enemies (e.g., knights, fantastical creatures) in melee combat. Players use swords, spears, axes, arrows, and magic to enemies; combat is highlighted by cries of pain, splatters of blood, and impact sounds.
“The game includes depictions of gore: collectible items that include severed fingers and tongues; a boss character cutting off its arm; severed arms hanging from a ceiling. During the course of the game, a humanoid monster is depicted partially nude, with scales/scars covering its breast and pelvic regions. The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.”
The award-winning action RPG has sold more than 28 million copies worldwide. Set in an authentic dark fantasy world, you will be challenged to explore treacherous dungeons and face epic boss battles.
The Tarnished Edition will include the base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, two new classes (Knight of Ides and Heavy Armored Knight), three new customisation options for your spectral steed Torrent, four new armor sets, and new weapons and skills.
Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025.
