Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn Switch 2

Bandai Namco published a launch trailer on May 20 for *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* ahead of the game’s Nintendo Switch 2 release on May 22, according to Bandai Namco’s official game page and Nintendo store listings. The Switch 2 version bundles the 2021 base game with the “Beyond the Dawn” expansion and additional costumes and items, Nintendo’s U.S. store says. Nintendo Everything and Nintendo Wire both highlighted the trailer on May 20 as the port neared release. ### What exactly is in this Switch 2 edition? Nintendo’s U.S. product page says the Beyond the Dawn Edition includes *Tales of Arise*, the additional scenario “Beyond the Dawn,” and extra costumes and items. The listing says the expansion adds a new storyline, dungeons and subquests following Alphen and his party after the main game’s ending. (nintendoeverything.com) Bandai Namco’s store page says the package centers on Alphen’s group meeting Nazamil, identified as the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan. Bandai Namco’s official *Tales of Arise* site separately says the DLC adds “20+ hours of game content.” ### When does it release, and is the date the same everywhere? (nintendo.com) Bandai Namco Entertainment America says the Nintendo Switch 2 version is coming on May 22, 2026. Nintendo’s U.S. store also lists May 22, 2026 as the release date for the digital version. (store.bandainamcoent.com) Gematsu reported in February that the game would launch on May 21 in Japan and May 22 worldwide, citing Bandai Namco. That lines up with the U.S. and European materials now live ahead of release. ### What do the Nintendo listings say about size, format and add-ons? (bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store lists the game as a digital Nintendo Switch 2 release with an estimated file size of 55.8 GB. The same page says supported play modes are TV, tabletop and handheld, and lists Bandai Namco Studios Inc. as developer. (gematsu.com) The Nintendo listing also shows a “Premium Upgrade Pack” scheduled for May 22 at $24.99. Bandai Namco’s own U.S. store page, meanwhile, shows the standard Switch 2 edition with an expected release date of May 22, 2026. ### Why did Nintendo sites and RPG outlets pick up the trailer? (nintendo.com) Nintendo Everything reported on May 20 that the launch trailer arrived as the game’s Switch 2 debut was “imminent.” Nintendo Wire said the new video was meant to build hype for the upcoming port and described it as a straight port rather than a remaster or special reworking. (nintendo.com) RPG Site reported in February that the Switch 2 release would include both the base game and the “Beyond the Dawn” DLC. IGN’s earlier announcement coverage also said the edition would package the base game, expansion and additional content for Nintendo’s new system. ### Where does this fit in Bandai Namco’s Switch 2 lineup? (nintendoeverything.com) Bandai Namco’s official store now lists *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* for Switch 2 at $49.99. The same storefront also lists other Switch 2 releases, including *Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition*, indicating Bandai Namco is adding more of its console catalog to Nintendo’s new hardware. (rpgsite.net) Bandai Namco Europe said in February that *Tales of Arise* would come to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026 as the Beyond the Dawn Edition. Nintendo Life separately reported that the release would get both physical and digital versions. May 22 is the next concrete milestone. (store.bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store says the game unlocks that day on Switch 2, and Bandai Namco’s store and official game page both point players to the same release window and launch trailer.
