This update includes a lot of exciting new content! If you’re new to the game, the opening cinematic was released early to help you understand the story. And for returning players, be prepared – the combat system has been revamped, and you’ll also notice significant visual improvements.
Following a period of quiet and a setback due to concerns about how the game was running, Bandai Namco Entertainment announced that Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will be released late this summer.
Greenlit Following Teaser Demo Success
The Tarnished DLC Pack will be released on August 28, 2026, and it will cost money to buy. The developers have announced a price of 550 yen, which is about $3.44. However, the final price is likely to be around $5 when it’s available.
A new report aligns with previous predictions that The Elder Scrolls 6 will likely release between 2028 and 2029. This report also indicates the game won’t be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase this Sunday, June 7th. This suggests a 2026 release is unlikely, as any announcement would likely happen at this event. Xbox probably wants to control the timing of the reveal and won’t share the spotlight with anyone else, or announce it on an ordinary day. The Game Awards later this year is a possible exception. Most likely, we’ll see the game again at the Xbox summer showcase next year, or perhaps not until 2028. If the release isn’t until 2029, Bethesda’s history suggests we might not even hear about it again until then, as they often prefer brief, focused marketing campaigns.
