FromSoftware has announced a delay for the release of *Elden Ring Tarnished Edition*, pushing it back to 2026. The decision was made to allow the studio more time to improve the game’s performance on Nintendo’s upcoming console.
The studio confirmed the delay in a statement shared on X, emphasizing their commitment to delivering a polished experience. *Elden Ring Tarnished Edition* was originally revealed during the Switch 2 Direct event in April. It was later showcased at Gamescom in August, where players noted concerningly poor performance on the Switch 2 version.
FromSoftware specifically cited the need for performance improvements as the primary reason behind the delay, ensuring that the final product meets the quality expectations of fans on Nintendo’s new hardware.
