Elden Ring Tarnished Pack Adds Two New Starting Classes
FromSoftware has released the Elden Ring Tarnished Pack DLC today across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and bundled inside the new Switch 2 Tarnished Edition.
The add-on introduces two new starting classes: the agile, faith-infused Idus Knight and the heavily fortified Heavy Knight wielding immense defensive Greatshields. The pack also delivers three cosmetic armor sets for your spectral steed Torrent, allowing cosmetic customization of your mount for the first time.
FromSoftware has carefully balanced the new content so starting equipment can also be discovered by veteran characters in the open world, ensuring existing high-level builds can access the gear without restarting their campaign. Find more build guides on /news.
