Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will update the beloved, fan favorite RPG for a new generation of consoles when it launches early next year. Vesperia is widely held to be the best game in the series by fans, owing to its imaginative combat system, and a simple but compelling story populated by what might be the best cast of characters in the series to date.

That cast of characters is what the newest trailer for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition focuses on. Showing us Yuri, Estelle, Flynn, among others, this Japanese trailer is bound to stir some nostalgia in anyone who was fond of this game when it first came out originally on the Xbox 360 ten years ago.

The trailer also shows how well the visual style of the original game held up, because while the remaster cleans up the resolution, the game at its core remains good looking- I would argue, to some extent, better looking than the games that did follow.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launches on January 11, 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Though it initially hyped a 2018 release, Bandai Namco has announced that Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will now be releasing on January 11th, 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Over on Twitter, the developer also teased a “very special edition” that players would be able to obtain. More information on that will be coming soon.

As the name implies, this is a remastered version of the 2008 RPG, which received strong critical and commercial acclaim. The Definitive Edition not only includes upscaled graphics, but also includes content that was exclusive to the PS3 version in Japan. On top of this, players can choose from both English and Japanese voice tracks.

With how crowded this year’s Fall/Holiday season is, it makes sense to shift the release date forward a bit. Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will be releasing right before Resident Evil 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 though, so how much attention it ultimately receives remains to be seen.

Need a little #MondayMotivation? This should brighten up your day: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launches on January 11th 2019 on PS4, XB1, PC Digital and Switch! Here’s a glimpse of a very special edition you’ll be able to lay your paws on. Stay tuned for more! pic.twitter.com/4unsmhtaII
