The ‘Tales' franchise is a long-running though oft-forgotten series of JRPGs which started its life all the way back in 1995. In the 30 years since, we’ve seen well over a dozen titles released across a plethora of platforms. While the last mainline entry ‘Tales of Arise’ launched back in 2021, publisher Bandai Namco has kept the series alive with a bunch of remasters; the latest of which will see 2016’s Tales of Berseria come to modern platforms – including Xbox and Switch for the first time.
Releasing a surprise announcement trailer, Bandai Namco officially unveiled Tales of Berseria Remastered. Set to launch on the 27th of February 2026 for the PlayStation 5; PC and for the first time the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, the remaster includes the base game alongside its MANY different cosmetic DLCs (aside from some select licensed items).
Beyond this, not much was shared regarding enhancements, with the only confirmed improvements being the addition of “new quality-of-life updates including destination icon, the ability to toggle encounters, early grade shop access, and more!”
Interestingly, it appears as though Berseria Remastered has been developed with the OG Switch in mind – at least when it comes to Nintendo consoles – with Bandai noting that “we are currently testing compatibility of the Nintendo Switch 2.”
While the Tales of series may feel daunting due to the sheer number of entries, a majority of the titles are able to be played and understood as standalone experiences, and so if you have not tried Tales of Berseria, this upcoming remaster presents a great opportunity to do so.
Tales of Berseria Remastered arrives on the 27th of February 2026 for the relatively low price of £34.99.
