Is Elden Ring having a Nintendo Switch launch?
As is already known about this game, the open-world RPG will let you explore a vast area of ‘The Lands Between’. Created by director Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring’s story will offer a multi-layered plot.
While diving into its enormous fictional and mythological space, you will encounter various bosses and also interesting NPCs. All the characters you interact with will have their hidden motives. Thus, you will need to make decisions wisely in choosing the best possible path in Elden Ring.
Now coming back to the question posed above, the game’s publisher Bandai Namco hasn’t made any kind of official announcements regarding its appearance on the Nintendo Switch. Simply put, if you were somehow hoping for it to arrive on the Switch, it’s just not going to happen.
In fact, on its website, Bandai Namco has clearly stated that Elden Ring will release for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. This implies, quite obviously, that the Souls-inspired RPG will not be available for the Nintendo Switch.
So that’s the bitter truth, sadly, for those players who are only owning a Switch at the moment.
Elden Ring is arriving worldwide this Friday, February 25, 2022, on all the supported platforms.
What are your thoughts on the upcoming open-world FromSoftware game? Are you disappointed to know that it won’t release for the Nintendo Switch?
