FromSoftware, a well-known Japanese developer, decided earlier this year to allow the well-received open-world RPG and the 2022 best game of the year "Eldon Fargo" to Nintendo's latest console Switch2, and named it "Eldon Fargo: Faded Edition". The trial version of this version was also released at the 2025 Cologne Game Exhibition, but the trial results were not very ideal.

The well-known foreign game media IGN said in a trial of "Failder Edition" that the game was a disaster in handheld mode and expressed deep disappointment with the performance of the game.The editor mentioned that when Nimgford left the novice area to explore, the rotating lens would experience a serious frame-slump, and the confusing key layout of the Switch 2 made the battle chaotic and the exploration process was quite frustrating.

Another game media focused on Nintendo Life, which also expressed concern after the trial. Their reporter also talked about the phenomenon of frame drop and lags in open world scenarios many times, especially after leaving the teaching area for beginners.GameVideographer also made the same remarks after the trial.

They also mentioned that no real-life picture is allowed on site (including overshoulder shots), and it may be known that the optimization of this version is not ideal, so it is difficult for us to see the specific real-life picture.This game has not yet been released for the specific release date, which may also be based on this reason.However, there is no news of a postponement of this game, so it will still be released within 2025. I hope to see better optimization and picture performance by then.
