Bandai Namco announced Tales of Eternia Remastered during a Nintendo Direct livestream on June 9, 2026. The remaster of the 2000 PlayStation RPG will launch October 16 on Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. One story reported an October 15 release date for the Switch and Switch 2 versions, while a later story gave October 16 for all platforms; the October 16 date is the most recent stated window.
The remaster ends a 21-year drought of console ports for the game, which had not seen a console release since the PSP version in 2005. It skips the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 generations entirely. The announcement was part of a larger Nintendo Direct presentation that also included a new Xenoblade game and Donkey Kong Bananza collaborations.
The remaster includes toggleable original visuals and sound, quality-of-life features, and new difficulty options. The game originally introduced the Tales series' signature Linear Motion Battle System to a wider audience. A trademark for Tales of Eternia had been filed earlier in the week, sparking remaster speculation before the official announcement.
