Tales of Arise arrives on Switch 2

Nintendo Everything posted a launch trailer for *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* on May 21, one day before the game’s scheduled Nintendo Switch 2 release. Bandai Namco’s official product pages and Nintendo store listings show the RPG arriving on May 22, 2026, after first being announced for the new platform in February. The release brings *Tales of Arise* to a Nintendo platform for the first time, according to Nintendo Everything and Bandai Namco. The Switch 2 version packages the base game with the “Beyond the Dawn” expansion and additional costumes and items. ### When does the Switch 2 version actually come out? Bandai Namco Europe said in a February announcement that *Tales of Arise* would come to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026, as the *Beyond the Dawn Edition*. Nintendo Everything’s May 21 trailer post did not restate the date in its headline, but the site described the launch as imminent. Nintendo Everything’s earlier February report also listed May 22, 2026 as the release date. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo’s own store pages match that timing. The U.S. My Nintendo Store page for the Switch 2 edition was live as of early May, and regional Nintendo listings in Europe and Australia also show a May 22, 2026 release. ### What is included in the Beyond the Dawn Edition? Bandai Namco’s store page says the *Beyond the Dawn Edition* includes *Tales of Arise*, the additional scenario “Beyond the Dawn,” and extra costumes and items. (en.bandainamcoent.eu) Nintendo’s U.S. store page uses the same package description for the Switch 2 release. Bandai Namco’s official *Tales of Arise* site says the add-on story follows the battle over the fate of two worlds and centers on Nazamil, described as the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan. (nintendo.com) Nintendo Everything’s recent character-trailer coverage also identified Nazamil as part of the pre-launch marketing push for the Switch 2 edition. ### Why is this release notable for Nintendo players? (store.bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo Everything’s February announcement said the game marks the RPG’s first appearance on a Nintendo platform. That matters because *Tales of Arise* first launched in 2021 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, with the “Beyond the Dawn” content arriving later on those platforms before this bundled Switch 2 edition. Nintendo Everything’s May 20 review described the Nintendo Switch 2 release as the “entire cumulative experience in one package.” (bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco’s current store listing now places Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Steam in the game’s platform lineup. ### What did Nintendo Everything’s new trailer confirm? Nintendo Everything’s May 21 post confirmed that launch marketing had shifted into final-release mode, with a dedicated launch trailer published a day before release. (nintendoeverything.com) The site’s wording — “launching imminently” — aligned with the official May 22 date already listed by Bandai Namco and Nintendo. (store.bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco’s official U.S. news post also says *Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition* is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026. That gives the trailer a clear function: it is the final promotional beat before the game goes on sale on Nintendo’s new system. ### Where can players find it next? Nintendo’s U.S. store page already lists the digital Switch 2 edition, and Bandai Namco’s store page includes the same platform and edition details. (nintendoeverything.com) The next concrete milestone is May 22, 2026, when the *Beyond the Dawn Edition* is scheduled to go live on Nintendo Switch 2 through Nintendo and Bandai Namco storefronts.
