Bandai Namco releases Tales of Eternia Remastered for modern consoles and PC

Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer TOSE have released Tales of Eternia Remastered for modern platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The remaster brings the classic 2D action RPG, originally released in the early 2000s, to current hardware with support for 60fps and up to 4K resolution on newer systems.

Key enhancements include quality-of-life features such as a boost function for experience and encounter frequency, destination icons, a high-speed auto-battle mode, and a Battle Retry system. Players can also toggle between remastered and original graphics and sound modes. The game follows protagonists Reid Hershel, Farah Oersted, Keele Zeibel, and Meredy as they attempt to prevent the “Grand Fall,” a collision between the worlds of Inferia and Celestia.

Critical reception on Metacritic for the PS5 version sits at 76. Reviewers have praised the character depth and the preservation of the original real-time combat system, while some noted that certain mechanics feel dated by modern standards. A Deluxe Edition is also available, featuring digital artbooks and soundtracks.
