During this month's Nintendo Direct, Tales of Arise was announced to be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 as "Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition". The game will launch on May 21st in Japan, with the Western release coming on the following day, May 22nd.
A trailer was shown during the Direct, and was uploaded afterwards, on Bandai Namco's respective channels.
The game itself is seemingly unchanged, while being optimized for Switch 2 hardware, though no specs or performance reports have been released. Included in this version is also the "Beyond the Dawn" expansion DLC, as well as various smaller DLCs that were available for the game prior. A "Digital Premium Edition" is also available, which includes all paid DLC, such as the costumes and BGM packs. Those who purchase the regular edition of the game may also get the "Premium Upgrade Pack" for all the aforementioned DLC.
Breaking the rules again and speaking for myself (hi I'm Flamzeron, nice to meet you), this was surprising, though also good for those who missed out on the game originally. That's it.
If you missed out on the game originally and play on Switch 2, now's your chance!
Tales of Arise is the latest mothership title (new classification: original title) of the Tales of Series which was first announced during Microsoft’s Press Conference in E3 2019. The game was released for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC Digital via Steam on September 9, 2021 for Asia and Japan and September 10, 2021 for the rest of the world. The game features use of the Unreal Engine 4 and works on the theme of tradition versus evolution of the series.
