Only a month after Tales of Xilla Remastered was released, Namco Bandai has announced the next in their growing number of older games in the series to get that same treatment, this time PlayStation 4 title Tales of Berseria Remastered. The remaster is scheduled to release on February 26, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC, and for the first time, on the Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch.
Interestingly enough, while Tales of Beseria was well-received and self-contained, it is part of a two-game arc with the previously released title in the series, Tales of Zestiria, serving as a prequel and somewhat narrative setup to the lore that would be featured in the former game. Zestiria, for its part, heavily altered combat from previous games, the gimmick being that two characters were forced to be in your party while the others needed to be tethered to them. This, in part, led to mixed reviews upon release and arguably aided Tales of Berseria to fare better, due to a darker, more concise story and course correction on combat.
This is notable at least, due to both Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Xilia receiving the remaster treatment as well, with their sequels still untouched at present, with Namco Bandai at best vaguely stating they hear fan requests for sequels to get remastered but not comment on if they plan to. It should be noted that Tales of Symponia did receive a remaster on the PS3 that included both games, but the latter was dropped from the PS4 release. Here, though, both parts are named entries in the series, rather than acting as an additional entry, which might create more reason to remaster the former entry. Of course, both are available in most places either through backward compatibility or accessibility.
