Tales of Berseria Remastered Launches on Nintendo Switch: Everything You Need to Know

Bandai Namco has officially launched Tales of Berseria Remastered for the Nintendo Switch, delighting fans of Japanese role-playing games with a modernized take on one of the series’ most beloved entries.

This release marks the first time that Tales of Berseria, originally launched in 2016, is available on a Nintendo platform—offering both enhanced visuals and streamlined gameplay designed to leverage the capabilities of the Switch, whether docked or in handheld mode. Set in the expansive kingdom of Midgand, Tales of Berseria Remastered invites players to embark on a deeply emotional journey of self-discovery with the protagonist, Velvet.

Driven by a past marked by betrayal, Velvet’s quest for vengeance is at the heart of a narrative that explores the timeless battle between emotion and logic.

As she travels across the varied archipelago, Velvet is joined by a dynamic cast of allies, each contributing unique perspectives and abilities that enrich the game’s story and combat. One of the main highlights of Tales of Berseria Remastered is its overhauled combat system.

The game allows players to freely select Artes—special attacks and abilities—to create custom combos and adapt to their preferred playstyle.

By collecting enemy Souls, players can unleash a flurry of attacks, delivering a tactile and rewarding battle experience.

Fans will also appreciate the inclusion of the renowned Grade Shop from the series and modern quality-of-life improvements like destination markers and toggles to avoid unwanted enemy encounters. The remastered version comes loaded with original DLC content that was first introduced in the 2016 release.

This includes a variety of costumes inspired by past Tales Of titles and additional gear, providing both cosmetic options and strategic benefits during gameplay.

Players new to the series, as well as long-time enthusiasts, will find plenty to enjoy in this content-rich package. Tales of Berseria Remastered is now available for purchase both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and as a physical edition at select retailers.

Bandai Namco’s continued commitment to revitalizing its classic catalog for modern platforms speaks to its understanding of the evolving demands of the RPG community and the enduring popularity of the Tales series. For Nintendo Switch owners and JRPG fans alike, this remastered release presents an ideal opportunity to revisit—or discover for the first time—a narrative-driven adventure that balances heartfelt storytelling with refined, action-packed gameplay.
