Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially announced that Tales of Berseria Remastered is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch, with a global release scheduled for February 27, 2026.
This marks the debut of the acclaimed JRPG on the portable Nintendo platform, reflecting the company’s commitment to expanding its library of classic RPGs for modern audiences. Originally released in 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PC, Tales of Berseria was notable as the first entry in the long-running 'Tales' series to feature a female lead character.
Players take on the role of Velvet Crowe, a young woman whose life is irrevocably altered by a traumatic event.
Once gentle, Velvet is now driven by powerful emotions, joining a group of pirates to journey across the diverse islands of the sacred kingdom of Midgand.
The story, celebrated for its mature themes and complex characterization, explores the conflict between emotion and reason—a central motif that resonated with fans worldwide. For its Nintendo Switch debut, Bandai Namco has implemented a variety of enhancements to modernize the gameplay experience.
The remastered version allows players greater control over their journey, including the ability to toggle destination icons and enemy encounters on or off at will.
The Grade Shop, previously unlocked later in the game, is now accessible from the start, and character movement speed has been increased by 1.2 times, allowing for a more fluid exploration of Midgand’s environments. In addition to gameplay improvements, Tales of Berseria Remastered features the complete set of downloadable content from its original release.
This includes a wide assortment of character costumes, bonus items, and other fan-favorite extras that enriched the base game. Bandai Namco Entertainment reaffirmed its dedication to delivering a faithful yet enhanced JRPG experience on Nintendo Switch.
In a prepared statement, the publisher highlighted the improvements made to ensure that both newcomers and longtime fans can enjoy Tales of Berseria in its best form yet. Tales of Berseria Remastered will be available in both physical retail editions and digital formats via the Nintendo eShop.
With its blend of compelling storytelling, strategic combat, and robust content, the game is poised to attract fresh audiences while giving series veterans an updated way to experience Velvet Crowe’s unforgettable journey.
