So, what can we hope to see? Well, I am sure many of you are champing at the bit to find out a release date for Elden Ring on Switch 2

. When it does arrive on Nintendo’s console, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition (as it is known) will include two new classes for players to choose from when they set off for the Lands Between.

Then, sticking with the FromSoft, we are also still quite light on news about The Duskbloods. Announced last year, The Duskbloods is a “PvPvE title with online multiplayer”, which features up to eight participants vying for “supremacy among themselves and against challenging foes”. It is quite an eclectic offering by the looks of things, complete with jetpacks, creepy moons and, erm, dinosaurs!?

We may also get to see something Indiana Jones and the Great Circle-flavoured tomorrow. This chap was announced for Switch 2 last year, so a release date isn’t out of the question.
