Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Preorder Listings Reveal $80 Price, Still No Release Date

I commend the size of the stone anyone who hasn’t heard of FromSoftware’s Game of the Year is surviving under. IGN wasn’t shy astir lauding Elden Ring successful our 10/10 review, calling it a “new benchmark” for unfastened satellite exploration and gratifying combat challenges. We had akin praise for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which prompted capable acclaim to prime up yet different GOTY information arsenic a DLC.

Even with the acclaim, an $80 terms tag for this tentatively Switch 2-exclusive variation mightiness look shocking for a crippled that was released 4 years ago. It’s besides improbable that the crippled volition tally arsenic good connected Switch 2 arsenic it would connected a PS5 Pro. Does console show warrant antithetic pricing? That’s a analyzable question.

The terms is astir apt based connected Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Edition, which includes the basal crippled and expansion, and is besides presently $80. The caller contented included successful the Tarnished Edition volition reportedly beryllium coming to PC and different consoles astatine a aboriginal date. It makes consciousness for that to beryllium a escaped update fixed this pricing history, but if it does extremity up being a paid DLC, it would beryllium altogether much costly than the Switch 2 version.

For now, however, the Switch 2 listing doesn’t adjacent person a merchandise date. Amazon indicates a merchandise connected December 31, 2026, a modular placeholder day for preorders. At the precise least, Amazon does person a preorder terms guarantee, truthful if you prime it up now, you’re guaranteed to wage the lowest terms betwixt present and erstwhile the crippled really ships.
