What is a tarnished elden ring?

As of now, there is limited information available about Elden Ring, and it is not confirmed if the game will feature a tarnished aspect or element. However, based on the leaked information and trailers, Elden Ring is expected to be an action RPG developed by FromSoftware in collaboration with George R.R. Martin.

The game is set in a world of dark fantasy with a focus on exploration, combat, and storytelling. Players will explore vast and interconnected environments, battle fearsome enemies, and uncover the mysteries of the Elden Ring, a powerful artifact that has shattered, causing chaos in the world.

While there has been no specific mention of a tarnished element in Elden Ring, FromSoftware is known for incorporating complex and morally ambiguous narratives into their games, so it is possible that themes of corruption, redemption, and the tarnishing of power could feature in the game's story. Fans will have to wait for more information to be released to know for sure.
