Elden Ring's Tarnished Edition is exciting enough on its own, but it's also our last chance to properly experience the game's launch day hype
One last hurrah for "fort comma night," "Mist, or Beast," and "offer pickle."
Play This Right Now delves into the excitement surrounding Elden Ring's Tarnished Edition DLC. Released four years after the game's initial launch, this DLC introduces two new classes and a variety of armor and items, marking a return to the game's launch-day hype. While the DLC's material additions are modest, they represent a significant opportunity to experience the game in a fresh, communal light.
The Tarnished Edition serves as a catalyst to reignite player activity in Elden Ring's multiplayer invasions and cooperative boss battles, which have previously been dormant. The DLC brings back the magic and communal spirit of the game's early days, as players once again engage in asynchronous messages and matchmaking. While it may not replicate the peak excitement of the game's initial launch, the Tarnished Edition's launch represents the biggest surge in player activity that Elden Ring is likely to see again.
