Elden Ring In The Works For Nintendo Switch 2, Say Insiders

Expert Verified By

FromSoftware's GOTY Winner Could Be A Switch 2 Launch Title!

Story Highlight
  • Elden Ring could be one of the first third-party ports released for the Nintendo Switch 2.
  • Reports suggest this port is being handled by the team behind Dark Souls Remastered.
  • An official look at the new hardware could also be coming next week.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been an open secret for more than a year at this point, but Nintendo has yet to break its silence.

As we head toward the end of 2024, the rumor mill around this next-gen hybrid console is still moving along swiftly, revealing one potential launch title for the system. According to two major insiders, an Elden Ring port is currently being worked on.

Why it matters: Both Elden Ring and its DLC are among the industry’s highest-rated releases. As such, they would be incredible additions to the hardware’s year-one lineup.

According to popular leaker Nash Weedle, Elden Ring Definitive Edition will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 next year. Virtuos is said to be working on the project after previously porting Dark Souls to the platform.

As per recent rumors, the hardware will launch in the first half of 2025. Therefore, Elden Ring may not be immediately available for fans next year, but it could be among the list of the first few major third-party releases.

The fact that Nash Weedle used the term “Definitive Edition” also implies that Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring’s excruciatingly challenging DLC, will be ported alongside the base game.

Moreover, Necro Felipe, another insider, suggested that he had heard similar reports a while back.

For the unaware, Elden Ring is already playable on a plethora of handhelds, with the Steam Deck offering the best on-the-go experience. While the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be less capable than the Steam Deck, a dedicated port for this system should compensate for the difference in raw hardware capabilities.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to be officially unveiled before the end of 2024. New rumors suggest that a reveal is coming as early as next week, potentially setting the stage for announcements of third-party ports like Elden Ring in the coming months.
