Bandai Namco has officially unveiled Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, marking a major moment for the popular JRPG franchise’s continued expansion onto next-generation hardware.
First announced during this week’s Partner Showcase, this release brings the award-winning action RPG and its expansive narrative add-on to Nintendo’s forthcoming platform in a package tailored for both portable and docked play. According to details published on the game’s official Japanese website, Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 will deliver a resolution of 1080p in both handheld and docked modes.
This ensures a sharp and consistent visual experience regardless of how players choose to engage, addressing a key concern for fans who prioritize graphical fidelity in their RPG adventures. In terms of performance, Bandai Namco confirms that cutscenes in Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition will run at 60 frames per second (fps), providing users with smooth cinematic sequences.
The main gameplay sections—including field exploration, combat, and other real-time activities—are targeted to operate at 30 fps.
The developer notes, however, that frame rates may fluctuate based on specific gameplay circumstances or environmental demands, a common consideration for games with detailed graphics and complex animations.
This performance profile aligns closely with current JRPG standards on hybrid gaming devices. Players should also plan for a significant storage requirement: the Switch 2 version of Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition will require approximately 54GB of data, based on official publisher information.
This substantial file size reflects the game’s expansive world, detailed models, and extensive voice acting—hallmarks of the Tales series’ modern era.
Further updates on digital and physical editions, including regional listing details, are expected to follow as the launch date draws nearer. Significantly, it has also been confirmed that Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition will be available as a Game-Key Card physical release on the Nintendo Switch 2.
This distribution method allows players to own a physical copy while still redeeming the game digitally via Nintendo’s online shops, maintaining the hybrid approach increasingly favored for major releases on the platform. Since its original release, Tales of Arise has garnered acclaim for its narrative depth, fast-paced combat, and polished visuals, notching several awards and reaching a worldwide audience.
Bandai Namco’s commitment to bringing this experience, complete with the Beyond the Dawn story expansion, to new hardware speaks to both the title’s enduring popularity and the evolving expectations for high-quality RPGs on Nintendo systems. As more information becomes available, including physical retail listings and a confirmed Switch 2 release date, this article will be updated to provide the latest verified details to fans and industry observers alike.
For now, Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition represents one of the most significant third-party RPGs landing on Nintendo’s next-generation console, with features designed to make full use of the hardware’s capabilities.
