Bandai Namco has officially unveiled Tales of Berseria Remastered for the Nintendo Switch, confirming the acclaimed JRPG’s arrival on the platform on February 27, 2026.
The remastered edition will retail for $39.99 in the US and £34.99 in the UK, providing new and veteran fans an opportunity to revisit one of the most celebrated entries in the long-running Tales series. Tales of Berseria first launched in Japan for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in 2016, followed by a Western release in 2017 for PS4 and PC.
The game quickly earned critical praise, with Push Square awarding it an impressive 8/10 score thanks to its compelling combat system and a storyline notable for its mature, darker themes.
Players follow the journey of protagonist Velvet Crowe, whose personal tragedy sets her on a path of revenge in a narrative that distinguishes itself from the lighter tones of other series installments. The upcoming Nintendo Switch release marks the first time Tales of Berseria will be available on a current-generation Nintendo platform.
Previous games in the series, such as Tales of Xillia and Tales of Graces f, remain exclusive to older PlayStation systems, making Berseria one of the more accessible chapters for modern fans.
While series director Yusuke Tomizawa recently noted that work on a Tales of Xillia 2 project is ongoing but not ready for announcement, this latest remaster places a spotlight back on Berseria. The Remastered version for Switch introduces numerous quality-of-life improvements designed to enrich the gameplay experience.
Key features include earlier access to the series’ Grade Shop, the addition of map icons for easier world navigation, the option to turn off random encounters, and a host of downloadable content available from launch.
These upgrades aim to streamline the adventure while offering additional customization for both new players and returning fans.
However, as with other Switch ports from Bandai Namco, the game is expected to run at 30 frames per second, a standard for many ambitious JRPG ports on the console. Tales of Berseria Remastered will be available via the Nintendo eShop and physical retailers when it launches in early 2026, expanding the JRPG library on Switch and introducing a new audience to Velvet’s unforgettable story.
Bandai Namco’s commitment to bringing beloved Tales experiences to modern platforms continues to resonate with longtime enthusiasts eager for more accessible ways to experience the franchise’s deep narratives and engaging combat systems.
