Overview
- Kadokawa, in Thursday's earnings presentation, reiterated that Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and FromSoftware's new Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods are scheduled for 2026.
- The company gave no release dates, so retailer listings suggesting July for Tarnished Edition remain unconfirmed.
- Kadokawa reported that Elden Ring Nightreign performed strongly even as total sales and profit fell from the prior year when Elden Ring and its DLC lifted results.
- Elden Ring's Switch 2 version slipped from 2025 after early previews flagged frame rate and performance problems, with newer hands-on reports describing clear improvements.
- The forecast also notes 27 game IPs in development for console and PC, signaling a wider pipeline beyond these two FromSoftware releases.
