Bandai Namco announces Tales of Eternia Remastered release

Bandai Namco has announced the release of Tales of Eternia Remastered, a modernized version of the classic JRPG originally released in 2000. The title is scheduled to launch on October 16, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

Rather than a complete remake that alters the core gameplay, this remaster focuses on graphical enhancements and quality-of-life improvements. Key additions include destination icons to assist with navigation, field fast-travel, and a ‘boost function’ that allows players to adjust experience points, damage multipliers, and encounter rates.

The remaster is based on the 2005 PSP version and retains the original 2D Aggressive Linear Motion Battle System. Players will also have the option to toggle between remastered background graphics and the original art style to preserve the classic aesthetic.
