Bandai Namco's acclaimed action RPG, Tales of Arise, is making its highly anticipated debut on Nintendo Switch 2.
The publisher has officially shared technical details for the upcoming port, providing new insights into what players can expect in terms of performance and visuals.
With a storied franchise history and a growing player base, the arrival of Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition on Nintendo's next-generation hardware is poised to be a significant milestone for both the Tales series and the Switch platform family. According to Bandai Namco, Tales of Arise will operate at 30 frames per second throughout general gameplay on Nintendo Switch 2.
The sole exception to this is during cutscenes, where the frame rate increases to 60 FPS.
It is important to note that this performance may occasionally fluctuate depending on the on-screen activity, mirroring previous experiences on other hardware iterations.
While some fans hoped for a consistent 60 FPS experience similar to what was offered via selectable modes on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions, the Switch 2 version aligns more closely with the PlayStation 4 Pro's 30 FPS cap.
Bandai Namco representatives emphasized that technical optimizations have been made to deliver an optimal experience within the console’s capabilities. In terms of visual fidelity, Tales of Arise is set to run at 1080p resolution on Nintendo Switch 2.
This represents the maximum output for the device in portable mode, ensuring a crisp visual experience on the go.
For users seeking higher resolutions while docked, this specification may fall short of expectations when compared to current-generation consoles.
However, the 1080p resolution still marks a strong presence for the RPG on a portable platform, continuing Nintendo's commitment to high-quality third-party support. Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition, which includes the original title along with expansive post-launch content, is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026.
The port marks the first time a mainline Tales game will be available on the platform, broadening accessibility for fans and newcomers alike via the eShop and at retail. First released in 2021, Tales of Arise gained widespread acclaim for its engaging narrative, dynamic combat system, and robust character development, helping it surpass one million units in sales within its first week.
With the series’ legacy firmly established in JRPG circles, Bandai Namco’s decision to bring the title to Nintendo’s new system underlines the publisher’s ongoing partnership with the platform holder.
As fans prepare for the Nintendo Switch 2 launch lineup, the arrival of Tales of Arise stands out as a testament to the enduring appeal of high-quality role-playing experiences on Nintendo consoles.
