Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition, this time focusing on Shionne as the enhanced edition prepares to arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026.
Tales of Arise originally launched in 2021 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC; this re-release brings the title to Nintendo's next-generation console with refreshed presentation and the opportunity for Switch players to revisit the game.
In the new trailer, Bandai Namco spotlights Shionne, a Renan noblewoman burdened by a curse: thorn-like protrusions that cause severe pain to anyone she touches.
While fleeing Renan soldiers, she encounters Alphen, and the two form an uneasy alliance.
Journalistically summarized, Bandai Namco presents Shionne as a pivotal character whose painful curse and complex origins drive much of the game's emotional core, and whose connection to Alphen allows him to wield the Blazing Sword embedded in her.
Tales of Arise tells a story set on two planets: Rena, which has subjugated and exploited the people of Dahna for three centuries, and Dahna, the occupied world fighting for freedom.
The narrative begins with two protagonists from different worlds seeking to change their fates and forge a new future.
Bandai Namco describes the game as featuring a diverse cast, an intuitive and rewarding combat system, and a lush world that supports a first-class JRPG experience.
Beyond the Dawn Edition also invites players to re-engage with post-story threads.
After the major conflict between the two worlds, Alphen and his party meet Nazamil, identified in the trailer as the daughter of a Renan lord and a Dahnan.
The expanded edition suggests new ways to explore the party dynamics that bond the six main characters and follow Nazamil’s narrative arc.
For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, the May 22, 2026 release date confirms when the enhanced edition will be available on Nintendo’s next-gen hardware.
Players looking to purchase digitally should expect it to appear on the console’s eShop at launch.
Fans who missed earlier previews can also find the previously released trailer that focused on Alphen.
The new Shionne trailer adds narrative depth ahead of the Beyond the Dawn Edition launch and serves as a reminder of why Tales of Arise earned praise for its storytelling and combat when it debuted in 2021.
