Bandai Namco’s celebrated action RPG, Tales of Arise, is set to make its highly anticipated debut on Nintendo’s latest hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2.
The publisher has officially announced that Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition will launch on the Switch 2 on May 22, 2026, offering both digital and physical releases to fans worldwide. The Beyond the Dawn Edition is priced at $49.99 and is available as a Game-Key Card through Bandai Namco’s online store.
This release marks a significant milestone, as it is the first native Tales of title on the Nintendo Switch 2.
While earlier series entries, such as Tales of Berseria Remastered—scheduled for release on the original Switch later this month—are not launching with native Switch 2 support, Tales of Arise stands out as a direct port of the critically acclaimed adventure, rather than a remaster. Originally released in 2021 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, Tales of Arise quickly earned accolades for its gripping story, innovative combat mechanics, and visually stunning design.
In 2023, Bandai Namco expanded the experience with Beyond the Dawn, an expansion that deepened the narrative and introduced new gameplay features.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version will include both the base game and this substantial expansion as standard, ensuring players receive the complete experience from the outset. Tales of Arise draws players into an epic conflict between the worlds of Rena and Dahna—a struggle that has lasted for 300 years.
The game focuses on the journey of Alphen, a masked amnesiac who cannot feel pain, and Shionne, a woman cursed with thorns that bring agony to anyone she touches.
Together, they assemble a diverse party of allies to battle the oppressive Renan Lords and liberate Dahna, all within a lush, richly designed game world praised for its immersive presentation. Since 2025, the Tales series has built a strong presence on Nintendo's hybrid consoles, with titles like Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tales of Xillia Remastered, and Tales of Berseria Remastered joining the lineup.
The addition of Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition to the Switch 2 catalog underscores Bandai Namco’s commitment to bringing beloved JRPG experiences to the Nintendo ecosystem. As anticipation builds for the May 2026 launch, Tales of Arise on Switch 2 promises to be a major highlight for both series veterans and newcomers, reinforcing the ongoing partnership between Bandai Namco and Nintendo.
With its compelling narrative, robust combat, and the inclusion of all expansion content, this edition stands as a definitive version for on-the-go and home console fans alike.
