Tales of Berseria Remastered: Release Date, Features, and Nintendo Switch Enhancements Revealed

Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially debuted the character trailer for Tales of Berseria Remastered, offering Nintendo Switch fans a closer look at the main protagonist, Velvet Crowe.

This announcement marks a significant moment for the Tales series, as Tales of Berseria was the first entry to feature a female lead, and its upcoming arrival on the Nintendo Switch brings several modern enhancements and valuable content for both new and returning players. Tales of Berseria was originally celebrated as a 'tale of emotion versus reason.' Players take on the role of Velvet Crowe, once known for her kind spirit before a life-changing event left her consumed by anger.

Driven by a personal quest for vengeance, Velvet joins a crew of pirates navigating the expansive and sacred kingdom of Midgand.

The narrative offers a deep exploration of human emotion, setting it apart as a memorable installment in the long-running Tales JRPG franchise from Bandai Namco Entertainment. The remastered edition for Nintendo Switch introduces several gameplay improvements designed to streamline and modernize the overall experience.

Notably, players can now toggle off destination markers and enemy encounters for a more customized adventure.

From the start, the Grade Shop is accessible, adding a new layer of convenience, and character movement speed has been increased by 1.2 times.

In addition, Tales of Berseria Remastered will arrive with the full suite of downloadable content previously available, including fan-favorite character costumes, bonus in-game items, and additional content that enriches the replayability and charm of the original release. As reflected in Bandai Namco’s official materials, Tales of Berseria Remastered is set to launch both physically and digitally worldwide via the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch on February 27, 2026.

Players who pre-order will receive the exclusive Super Adventuring Assistance Set, a bundle of in-game items including 10 Apple Gels, 10 Peach Gels, 10 Life Bottles, and 10 Panacea Bottles, all designed to provide valuable support during early gameplay. With its enhanced features, all-inclusive DLC, and optimized gameplay for Nintendo Switch, Tales of Berseria Remastered reinforces Bandai Namco Entertainment’s commitment to reinvigorating classic JRPG experiences for modern audiences.

As anticipation builds toward the release date, both longstanding fans of the Tales series and newcomers alike can look forward to embarking on Velvet Crowe’s emotional journey when the game arrives in 2026.
