Elden Ring Switch 2 Clip Appears on Japanese Site

Elden Ring’s Japanese website briefly posted a roughly 40-second clip labeled ‘Nintendo Switch 2 ver.’ and updated the game’s page with an August 28 release date for Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition. Bandai Namco has not confirmed that the clip represents the Nintendo Switch 2 version or that the August 28 date is final.

The clip shows several in-game moments, including riding the mount Torrent with the Tarnished Edition skin, a confrontation with a dragon and an early boss encounter. The video appears under a ‘Nintendo Switch 2 ver.’ heading and is displayed alongside a Switch 2 graphic on the page.

The footage runs for about 40 seconds. Visually, the sequence shows steadier frame pacing than some earlier public demonstrations. Compared with PlayStation 5 captures, the scenes have less dense foliage and include occasional dropped frames. The page does not provide a technical statement or platform verification for the uploaded clip.

The Switch 2 port was shown at Gamescom last year and the release was later delayed. Footage from events in the months after Gamescom has shown incremental differences in presentation.

Bandai Namco was contacted for confirmation of the clip’s platform authenticity and for comment on the August 28 release date; no response had been published at the time of posting. The Japanese site remains the primary place to view the clip until the publisher republishes it on broader channels or issues an official statement.

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is listed with the August 28 date on the game’s Japanese page. Further technical details and formal confirmation are pending any statement from the publisher.
