With new exclusives for the Nintendo Switch 2 few and far between so far, third-party ports are picking up a lot of the slack, and one of the best games of this console generation appears poised to have its release date for the new system announced. First revealed to be coming to the Switch 2 during its big Direct back in April, Elden Ring, often considered among the greatest games ever made, appears to be preparing for release on Nintendo’s new hardware.

Currently without an official release date, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition has been rated for the Nintendo Switch 2 by the ESRB (via My Nintendo News). The Entertainment Software Rating Board determines the age rating for video games in North America, and has unsurprisingly assigned Elden Ring on Switch 2 with an M rating for Mature, due to blood and gore, language, suggestive themes, and violence. While not a traditional leak, an ESRB rating is one of the final steps a game typically takes before release, meaning developer FromSoftware and international publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment may be close to announcing the Tarnished Edition release date.
