Bandai Namco announced Tales of Eternia Remastered during the June 9 Nintendo Direct broadcast, bringing the 2000 PlayStation RPG to modern hardware. The remaster is set to launch October 16 on Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Steam date of October 16. An earlier announcement listed an October 15, 2026 launch for Switch and Switch 2.

The remaster keeps the 2D battle system and story of two worlds, and adds quality-of-life features, new difficulty options, and toggleable original visuals and sound. On July 4, Bandai Namco released the opening movie, which uses GARNET CROW's song "flying," the same theme from the 2000 original.

Before the announcement, a new trademark for Tales of Eternia had already drawn remaster speculation in GameSpark's weekly ranking for May 29 to June 4, 2026. Merchandise for the title is now part of Bandai Namco's TGS2026 lineup, with early sales September 17 to 21 at the ASOBI STORE branch in Makuhari Messe Hall 11 and pre-orders on ASOBI STORE from September 28, shipping planned from the end of January 2027.
