Bandai Namco has released a new character trailer for Ras from Tales of Eternia Remastered as the publisher prepares the game for its October 15, 2026 release on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The remaster updates the classic RPG for modern platforms while retaining the series' signature action-RPG combat and story beats set across two divided worlds.
Ras: from senior knight to reluctant ally
The new trailer spotlights Ras, a former senior knight who demonstrates advanced sword techniques and an aptitude for aurora artes.
Bandai Namco portrays Ras as initially acting under orders from the king to oppose Reid's party, but he later softens and provides assistance to the group as events unfold.
The trailer emphasizes his combat role and narrative arc within the party dynamic.
Story and setting
Tales of Eternia Remastered sends players to Eternia, a world split into two isolated realms, Inferia and Celestia.
In the village of Rasheans in Inferia, protagonists Reid Hershel and Farah Oersted encounter the mysterious Meredy.
As the party investigates Meredy's origins, they uncover the larger threat of the Great Fall, a catastrophic event that endangers both realms.
The story revolves around the elemental Greater Craymels and the party's effort to prevent calamity.
Combat and systems
The remaster preserves the Aggressive Linear Motion Battle System (A-LMBS), which supports varied Artes, continuous combos, and coordinated actions among unique party members.
Bandai Namco describes the combat as fast-paced 2D action where players string together combos and leverage each character's tools in dynamic encounters.
Quality-of-life improvements and presentation
Tales of Eternia Remastered includes several modern conveniences designed to streamline play: destination markers to aid navigation, an option to disable random enemy encounters, and a high-speed mode for auto battles.
The remaster also allows players to toggle graphics and sound effect modes to switch between the original game's nostalgic presentation and refreshed audiovisuals.
Trailers and further coverage
Alongside the Ras trailer, Bandai Namco has released character previews for Reid, Farah, Keele, Chat, and Max.
Tales of Eternia Remastered is slated to arrive on Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 via the eShop on October 15, 2026, with trailers available on Bandai Namco's official channels and partner outlets.
