Tales of Arise arrives May 22

Bandai Namco is bringing *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* to Nintendo Switch 2 on Friday, May 22, according to the publisher’s U.S. and European announcements. The release gives the 2021 action RPG its first appearance on a Nintendo platform, with the Switch 2 version bundling the base game and the “Beyond the Dawn” expansion. (bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo’s U.S. store page for the title is already live, and Bandai Namco has published a release-date trailer ahead of launch. (nintendo.com) ### What exactly is arriving on May 22? *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* is the package Bandai Namco is shipping on Switch 2, not just the original base game. (youtube.com) Nintendo’s store page says the edition includes *Tales of Arise*, the additional scenario “Beyond the Dawn,” and extra costumes and items. Bandai Namco’s official *Tales of Arise* site also says the Switch 2 edition is set for May 22, 2026. February 5, 2026, was the first public date attached to the port in Bandai Namco-adjacent coverage, with Nintendo Everything reporting the game had been announced for Switch 2 for May 22. (bandainamcoent.com) That earlier announcement matters because the current trailer push is not a surprise reveal; it is the final marketing beat before release. ### Who is publishing it, and where did the Sega mention come from? Bandai Namco Entertainment is the publisher named on the official game announcements and store pages for *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition*. The official Bandai Namco news post says the game is “coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026,” and the official *Tales of Arise* franchise page repeats that date. (nintendo.com) No official Sega announcement surfaced in the primary sources reviewed for this release. Sega does publish some Switch 2 titles, but the verified *Tales of Arise* materials tied to this launch are from Bandai Namco, Nintendo storefront pages, and outlet coverage of Bandai Namco’s trailer. (nintendoeverything.com) Based on the available sourcing, any reference to Sega appears to be a mix-up rather than part of the game’s official publishing credit. ### What do the launch materials show? Bandai Namco has already put out a “Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Trailer” for the game. (bandainamcoent.com) The trailer description says the title launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, while Nintendo Everything reported on May 20 that the RPG was “launching imminently” and tied that timing to the new trailer. The official *Tales of Arise* site now features both an announcement trailer and a launch trailer for the Switch 2 version. Those materials frame the port as a new platform release for an existing RPG rather than a remake or sequel. (bandainamcoent.com) ### Is it already on sale, and what version is listed? Nintendo’s U.S. store page lists a digital Nintendo Switch 2 version of *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition*. The page does not present the release as a subscription add-on or upgrade path; it is listed as its own Switch 2 product page. (youtube.com) Bandai Namco’s U.S. store currently shows the Nintendo Switch 2 edition at $49.99 as a pre-order listing. That price point is the clearest concrete retail detail visible in official storefront material ahead of launch day. (bandainamcoent.com) ### What happens next? May 22, 2026, is the date attached to the Switch 2 launch across Bandai Namco’s U.S. and European posts, Nintendo’s store listing, and outlet coverage tracking the trailer rollout. The next concrete milestone is the game’s availability through Nintendo’s eShop and Bandai Namco storefront listings once the release goes live.
