Tales of Berseria Remastered: New Laphicet Trailer Released Ahead of Nintendo Switch Launch

Bandai Namco has unveiled a brand-new character trailer for Tales of Berseria Remastered, spotlighting Laphicet, just ahead of the game’s highly anticipated debut on Nintendo Switch.

As fans gear up for the title’s arrival on February 27, 2026, the trailer offers fresh insight into one of the series’ most enigmatic companions. Laphicet, a young member of the Malakhim—an enigmatic, non-human race—is reintroduced within the remastered edition.

According to Bandai Namco, Laphicet has endured a life of anonymity, existing merely as a vessel for channeling mystical arts known as artes.

This latest character showcase further highlights Laphicet’s pivotal journey of self-discovery and his evolving role within the game's story-driven narrative. Tales of Berseria Remastered builds upon the celebrated gameplay and emotive storytelling that the original 2016 release brought to the JRPG genre.

The remaster introduces a host of quality-of-life enhancements and visual improvements, ensuring a polished experience for veterans and newcomers alike.

Players can expect improved playability through modern features such as destination markers and customizable enemy encounters, streamlining exploration across the sprawling archipelago of Midgand. At the core of Tales of Berseria Remastered is its conflict between emotion and reason—a narrative that centers on Velvet Crowe, a woman seeking vengeance in a kingdom marred by betrayal.

Accompanied by Laphicet and a colorful ensemble of allies, players embark on a voyage filled with action-packed battles and personal revelations.

The game’s distinctive combat system allows for dynamic combo-chaining using Artes and a robust collection element for unleashing powerful Soul attacks. Bandai Namco also confirms that Tales of Berseria Remastered will come bundled with DLC from the original release.

Included are an array of costumes inspired by past Tales titles and various equipment upgrades, giving fans both a sense of nostalgia and additional gameplay depth. The Nintendo Switch release marks the first time Tales of Berseria has been remastered for a Nintendo platform, allowing the acclaimed JRPG to reach a new audience via the eShop and physical editions.

The series’ unique blend of fast-paced combat, character-driven storytelling, and now, enhanced accessibility, positions Tales of Berseria Remastered as a standout addition to the Switch library. With this new Laphicet trailer and the prior reveal featuring Velvet Crowe, Bandai Namco continues to build anticipation for the game’s release.

Players eager to experience the emotional journey through the kingdom of Midgand can look forward to sailing with Velvet, Laphicet, and company when Tales of Berseria Remastered launches on February 27, 2026 for Nintendo Switch.
