Tales of Arise launches May 22 on Switch 2

Bandai Namco is bringing *Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition* to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026, according to the publisher’s official game page and Nintendo’s U.S. store listing. The release adds one of Bandai Namco’s biggest recent role-playing games to Nintendo’s new hardware during the console’s early software lineup. Nintendo’s store says the package includes the original *Tales of Arise*, the “Beyond the Dawn” additional scenario, and extra costumes and items. ### What exactly is launching on May 22? The May 22 release is not the 2021 base game by itself. Nintendo’s product page identifies the Switch 2 version as *Tales of ARISE - Beyond the Dawn Edition*, a bundled release that combines the base game with the post-launch expansion and bonus content. The store description says players will get the main game, the “Beyond the Dawn” story content, and additional costumes and items. (bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco’s official announcement uses the same edition name and date. The company’s game page says the title is “coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22, 2026,” matching Nintendo’s listing. ### What does the Switch 2 version include? Nintendo’s U.S. store says the release centers on the complete *Beyond the Dawn Edition* package rather than a stripped-down port. (nintendo.com) The listing describes the game’s setting in Dahna and Rena and says the added scenario follows the main story, with Alphen and his party meeting Nazamil, the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan. (bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco’s U.S. store listing also points to the same structure. Its product page lists the Nintendo Switch 2 edition with an expected release date of May 22, 2026, and says the “BEYOND THE DAWN” expansion adds more than 20 hours of content. (nintendo.com) ### Is there a confirmed U.S. price? Bandai Namco’s U.S. store lists the Nintendo Switch 2 version at $49.99 for pre-order. The publisher’s storefront shows *Tales of ARISE - Beyond the Dawn Edition* under its “Tales Of” catalog with that price attached. Nintendo’s U.S. store page surfaced the game and its contents, but the search result snippet available here does not show a price. (store.bandainamcoent.com) Separate regional Nintendo pages show local pricing, including an Australian eShop listing at A$69.95 including GST. (store.bandainamcoent.com) ### Why is this release drawing attention now? Nintendo Switch 2 is still building out its early release calendar, and Bandai Namco is using a recent, higher-profile RPG rather than an older remaster for this launch-window addition. The official Bandai Namco site places the game among its current Nintendo Switch 2 offerings, and the company’s store is already taking pre-orders ahead of the release. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s store positioning also suggests the company is treating the game as a standard digital storefront release for the new hardware rather than a limited regional rollout. The U.S. listing is live, and equivalent Nintendo pages are also visible in other regions. (bandainamcoent.com) ### Where can players find it next? May 22, 2026 is the date listed by both Bandai Namco and Nintendo for the Switch 2 release. Nintendo’s U.S. store page is already live for digital buyers, and Bandai Namco’s U.S. store is listing the game for pre-order at $49.99 ahead of release. (nintendo.com)
