During the recent Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Bandai Namco took the spotlight to announce that Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on May 22nd. The Beyond the Dawn Edition is essentially a combination of the base Tales of Arise along with the eponymous expansion pack that was released back in 2023.
Tales of Arise is an epic fantasy title that takes place in the larger Tales franchise. The latest entry, originally released in 2021, revolves around Alphen and Shionne, who must work together and meet new allies to investigate mysteries surrounding Rena and its dominion over Dahna.
Tales of Arise had proven to be quite successful, both critically and commercially. In our review, we gave it a score of 8 out of 10 thanks to its central premise, overall narrative, and fast-paced combat with a solid progression system. By 2024, Bandai Namco had confirmed that it had sold more than 3 million copies worldwide.
Celebrating the second anniversary of its launch, Bandai Namco has released the Beyond the Dawn expansion. Taking place a year after the events of the base game, Beyond the Dawn sees our heroes reunite to investigate the mysterious child of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan, named Nazamil.
While no new entry in the Tales franchise has been announced, you can check out Tales of Arise and its Beyond the Dawn expansion on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
