Bandai Namco Celebrates Tales Series' 30th Anniversary With Tales of Berseria Remastered for Nintendo Switch and More
Bandai Namco is marking the 30th anniversary of its long-running Tales series with the announcement of Tales of Berseria Remastered, set to launch on February 27, 2026.
The beloved RPG will be available globally for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC, offering new and returning fans the chance to experience one of the franchise’s most compelling adventures on modern platforms. This news arrives on the heels of the recent release of Tales of Xillia Remastered, reinforcing Bandai Namco’s commitment to celebrating three decades of the acclaimed JRPG series.
Tales of Berseria Remastered is particularly notable within the franchise, as the original game was first developed for the PlayStation 3, though that version was only released in Japan.
Western audiences primarily experienced the 2017 PlayStation 4 edition, which gained praise for its darker narrative and refined combat system. The remastered edition is expected to include visual enhancements, quality-of-life improvements, and integrated DLC content, continuing Bandai Namco’s proven approach to revitalizing classic entries for modern audiences.
While Tales of Berseria draws from the mechanics of its predecessor, Tales of Zestiria, it distinguishes itself through its unique tone, centering the story on Velvet Crowe—a protagonist driven by vengeance in the aftermath of her brother’s murder.
The game’s narrative direction and action combat mechanics set it apart, earning it recognition among both critics and fans. Tales of Berseria Remastered’s release on Nintendo Switch is particularly significant, as it marks the first time the game will officially appear on a Nintendo platform.
This expansion onto the eShop aligns with Bandai Namco’s broader strategy of bringing beloved Tales titles to new audiences outside the traditional PlayStation ecosystem.
As of this announcement, there has been no confirmation of a separate Nintendo Switch 2 version. Reflecting on the ongoing anniversary celebration, a spokesperson for Bandai Namco emphasized the publisher’s dedication to honoring the legacy and vibrant community of Tales fans worldwide by delivering thoughtfully enhanced versions of fan favorites. With a February 27, 2026 release date set for Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox, and PC, Tales of Berseria Remastered is poised to introduce its iconic cast and gripping story to a fresh generation of JRPG enthusiasts.
For those who have yet to experience Velvet Crowe’s journey, the remaster promises an excellent opportunity to dive into one of the most memorable chapters of the Tales series. Stay tuned to official Nintendo Direct presentations and the Bandai Namco website for more updates regarding Tales of Berseria Remastered and other anniversary announcements.
