Elden Ring Switch 2 Port Nicknamed the 'Tarnished Edition' by Japanese Fans

When word spread that the Switch 2 port of Elden Ring was being nicknamed the "Tarnished Edition" (褪せ人エディション), Japanese players gleefully ran with the in-joke. The thread imagined Nightreign converts getting bodied by the Tree Sentinel before Margit finishes them off, riffed on a fake "For You, Without a Maiden" sticker on the box, and rolled out every demigod insult in the game. It builds to the question that breaks everyone — and one reader's verdict on FromSoftware's relationship with discrimination.
