Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Remaster Launches September 14th

Bandai Namco has confirmed that Baten Kaitos 1 and 2 HD Remaster launches for Nintendo Switch on September 14th. A new trailer is also available – check it out below.

In both titles, you don’t play as the protagonist. Instead, you’re a Guardian Spirit who possesses them. Based on the decisions made, your bond with the protagonists will become stronger, conferring more advantages in combat. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is about Kalas and Xelha, who embark on a quest to challenge the Alfard Empire.

Baten Kaitos Origins is a prequel that occurs two decades before the first game’s events and focuses on Sagi. Though part of an Alfard Empire elite unit, he’s subsequently framed and embarks on a journey to clear his name.

Along with improved visuals, the HD Remaster has new features like Instant KO to defeat enemies instantly, settings for up to 300 percent game and battle speed, “No Encounters” to prevent encounters and other settings to “support game progression.” Stay tuned for more details on the remaster in the coming weeks.
