Bandai Namco will release Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, marking the RPG's first official appearance on a Nintendo platform.
Developed by Bandai Namco Studios and originally launched in 2021 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, Tales of Arise arrives on Nintendo hardware as a complete package that pairs the base game with the Beyond the Dawn expansion and additional DLC content.
Bandai Namco released a new character trailer that spotlights Alphen, the game's protagonist.
The studio frames Alphen—often referred to as the 'Iron Mask'—as a Dahnan warrior who suffers from amnesia and has lost the ability to feel pain.
Driven both by anger at Renan oppression and compassion for the people of Dahna, Alphen becomes a central figure in the rebellion against the Renan rulers.
In journalistic terms: Bandai Namco presents Alphen as an amnesiac Dahnan fighter, nicknamed the 'Iron Mask', whose lack of physical sensation and personal vendetta against Renan rule propel him into a leadership role in the resistance.
The Beyond the Dawn Edition bundles the original Tales of Arise campaign with the Beyond the Dawn expansion and multiple DLC packs, providing Switch 2 players with the full post-launch content at launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 release is scheduled for May 22 and will be offered through Nintendo's ecosystem, including the console's digital storefront on the eShop once live.
Bandai Namco has distributed trailers and promotional materials ahead of release to build visibility among JRPG fans and Nintendo platform holders.
Tales of Arise was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, and its 2021 launch across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC earned it praise within the JRPG community.
The Switch 2 version represents the title's first availability on Nintendo hardware, expanding access for players who prefer Nintendo's ecosystem.
