Description
Bandai Namco has inadvertently revealed that 'Tales of Xillia' will be the next title in its popular JRPG series to receive a remastered release for modern platforms, including consoles and PC.
The leak, discovered by fans on August 14, 2025, originated from Bandai Namco’s European division, where a promotional video—seemingly scheduled for an official announcement—was briefly uploaded.
A screenshot from this video confirmed 'Tales of Xillia' as the latest entry to join the expanding lineup of 'Tales of' remasters.
'Tales of Xillia', originally launched in 2011 in Japan and 2013 globally for PlayStation 3, is widely celebrated for its dynamic battle system, dual narrative paths, and engaging cast of characters.
Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, the title quickly became a standout within the franchise, achieving critical acclaim for its character-driven storytelling and innovative gameplay mechanics.
The success of 'Tales of Xillia' not only prompted a direct sequel, 'Tales of Xillia 2', but also reinforced the series’ reputation for delivering top-tier JRPG experiences to a worldwide audience.
The quietly leaked video, which appeared on Bandai Namco Europe’s official channels, was accompanied by a preview image explicitly depicting 'Tales of Xillia'.
While the video has since been removed, its presence strongly suggests that an official reveal is imminent, with industry observers pointing to August 18 as the likely announcement date.
In a carefully worded internal communication, Bandai Namco referenced the franchise's enduring popularity, stating, "We are continually committed to bringing high-quality experiences from the Tales of universe to both new players and dedicated fans across multiple platforms."
Recent remasters in the series, such as 'Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition,' have found significant commercial and critical success on platforms like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
These releases have contributed to renewed interest in the storied RPG franchise, with Bandai Namco reporting robust sales and positive player engagement metrics across the board.
'Tales of Xillia’s' anticipated remaster is expected to broaden the game's accessibility, introducing enhanced visuals, updated features, and optimized performance for modern hardware.
While Bandai Namco has yet to confirm platform specifics or a release date, fans can expect updates during the forthcoming announcement event.
Until then, the leak stands as an exciting signal of the continued commitment to keeping classic 'Tales of' titles alive for new generations of players.
