Tales of Arise launches on Switch 2 May 22

Bandai Namco is bringing *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, according to the publisher’s official game page and store listing. The release gives Nintendo’s new system a port of the 2021 action RPG, bundled with the later “Beyond the Dawn” expansion content rather than a base-game-only version. (bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco’s U.S. store lists the game at $49.99 and marks May 22, 2026 as the expected release date. (store.bandainamcoent.com) May 20 coverage from NintendoEverything and Nintendo Wire pushed the game into the Switch 2 launch-week conversation with a release-date trailer and fresh hands-on attention. (nintendoeverything.com) Those reports framed the port as imminent, with Nintendo Wire also pointing readers to its review coverage ahead of release. ### What exactly is coming to Switch 2 on May 22? *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* is the version Bandai Namco says will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026. The company’s official game page says the edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this May, and its store page identifies the package specifically as the “Beyond the Dawn Edition.” (bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo Wire reported in February that the Switch 2 package would include the “Beyond the Dawn” storyline DLC by default, along with other add-on content. Bandai Namco’s store page also says the expansion adds more than 20 hours of content. (nintendoeverything.com) ### What does the edition include? Bandai Namco’s materials describe the release as the base *Tales of Arise* game plus the “Beyond the Dawn” expansion. NintendoEverything’s February report said the edition marks the RPG’s first appearance on a Nintendo platform and includes the base game, the expansion, and additional content. (bandainamcoent.com) The official *Tales of Arise* page also groups the Switch 2 edition alongside the publisher’s existing versions of the game and links it to both the announcement trailer and launch trailer. That places the Switch 2 release as a packaged reissue rather than a new standalone sequel or remaster. (nintendowire.com) ### How was the launch being promoted this week? NintendoEverything published a launch-trailer post on May 20 saying the RPG was “launching imminently” on Nintendo Switch 2. The article embedded Bandai Namco’s trailer and repeated that the game would be appearing on the new console. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Wire published its own trailer post the same day and said the game would be heading to Nintendo Switch 2 soon. Its write-up also cited a review by Ricky Berg, who said the game’s “story, cast, and art direction” stood out. (bandainamcoent.com) ### Where does pricing stand right now? Bandai Namco’s U.S. store lists *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* for Nintendo Switch 2 at $49.99. The same page labels the product as a pre-order and gives May 22, 2026 as the expected release date. (nintendoeverything.com) Nintendo Wire separately connected the game’s release-week coverage to broader Switch 2 software price talk by linking to an article about Amazon Germany listings for upcoming Pokémon titles. That report was about those Pokémon listings, not a new Bandai Namco price change for *Tales of Arise*. (nintendowire.com) ### What happens next for players? May 22, 2026 is the date Bandai Namco has attached to the Nintendo Switch 2 launch for *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition*. Players looking for the release can find it on Bandai Namco’s official store at $49.99, while Bandai Namco’s game page hosts the announcement and launch trailers tied to the Switch 2 version.
