Bandai Namco is bringing *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026, extending the action role-playing game to Nintendo’s new platform. The company confirmed the date on its official site and store listing, while Nintendo’s U.S. store page shows the game is available digitally for $49.99. Nintendo Everything published the launch trailer on May 20, one day before release, and repeated the game’s setup: Rena has ruled Dahna for 300 years. ### Which version is coming to Switch 2 on May 22? The May 22 release is the *Beyond the Dawn Edition*, not just the original base game.

Nintendo Everything’s May 20 post said the launch trailer had gone live as the release approached. The outlet summarized the story premise by saying Rena had ruled over Dahna for 300 years, setting up the conflict that anchors the game. (store.bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco and Nintendo use similar language on their official pages. Nintendo’s product listing says, “For 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna,” and describes a story centered on two people from different worlds trying to change their fate. IGN’s game page carries the same setup in its release-date trailer description. (nintendoeverything.com) ### Is this the first time Tales of Arise has appeared on a Nintendo platform? Nintendo Everything reported in February that *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* would mark the RPG’s first appearance on a Nintendo platform. That earlier announcement tied the Switch 2 version to the same May 22, 2026 date now reflected in Bandai Namco’s official materials. (nintendo.com) Bandai Namco’s official *Tales of Arise* page now lists Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PlayStation, Xbox and PC versions. The company’s Europe site also said in February that the game was coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026. ### What else was circulating ahead of release? Nintendo Everything’s launch-trailer post said the release was imminent and embedded the new video for readers tracking the final pre-launch push. (nintendoeverything.com) Separate coverage from HappyGamer highlighted a launch giveaway tied to the Switch 2 release window, though the official Bandai Namco and Nintendo pages focus on the release date, edition contents and store availability. (bandainamcoent.com) The May 22 milestone is the next concrete step. Nintendo’s U.S. store page and Bandai Namco’s official site both point players to the Switch 2 edition, while the launch trailer remains live ahead of release. (nintendo.com) (nintendoeverything.com)
