The new Tarnished Pack for Elden Ring has been subject to review bombing following its release, with the included skins being a particular source of ire. The DLC for Elden Ring brings the additional content featured in the Tarnished Edition release on Switch 2.
A brand-new update is now available for FromSoftware's open world epic Elden Ring across all its platforms.
Elden Ring is currently being review-bombed on Steam in response to the launch of the game's Tarnished Pack DLC. Many fans have taken issue with some of the skins included as part of the Tarnished Pack, particularly criticizing publisher Bandai Namco for Elden Ring's new Torrent skins included as part of the $5 DLC. Incensed customers have compared the DLC to the controversial "Horse Armor" DLC for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, which only included different armor for the players' horses and is commonly cited as one of the earliest examples of microtransactions in gaming. The review bombing has dropped the rating for the Tarnished Pack to 'Mixed' on Steam, with more than 800 negative reviews only three days after its release.
