Bandai Namco has confirmed that the next Tales series remaster is indeed Tales of Xillia Remastered, and it will be released on Nintendo Switch 1. The game will come out on October 31st, 2025, but only the first part of the story, Tales of Xillia 1, will be included in this release.
While some fans may have been hoping for both parts of the story to be bundled together, it seems that this will not be the case. However, Bandai Namco has announced several features and improvements that make up for this decision.
Tales of Xillia Remastered will run at 30 frames per second (fps) on Switch 1 and will be available in 1080p docked mode and 720p handheld mode. The game’s visuals have been upgraded, and players can expect several other features to enhance their gaming experience.
These improvements include:
* Access to the Grade Shop immediately, plus a new item in the shop – “50% off items”
* Over 40 original DLC available from the start
* Autosave
* A new Enemy Encounter toggle, allowing players to avoid combat entirely (except for certain Events)
* A Retry feature for regular fights
* Subtitles in combat, which can be customized to your liking
* A toggle for dashing
* Map icons for story destinations, sub-events, and unacquired items and treasure chests
* A toggle to automatically skip events
* New Artes and items will now be marked
* Item descriptions added to the Jet Black Feather Trading Post
* Pressing the appropriate button in Option or in the Store will take you to the top of that screen/option from any level
* Batch selection available for store development
* Can open chests and items even if not facing them – as long as you’re next to them, you can open them
* Switch between camera distances on the map to near, normal, or far
* Key binding is available on the map and in battle
* Additional volume settings, allowing you to adjust the volume of any individual sound aspect
* The ability to swap between English and Japanese voices
* Typos and errors corrected (in the Japanese version)
* Some expressions have been tweaked
A Digital Deluxe Edition will be available for the remaster, which includes the digital soundtrack, artbook, a Battle BGM Pack, and Super Growth Support Herb Set. Pre-ordering early will also grant players access to in-game items.
While some fans are disappointed by the lack of both parts of the story in this release, others are excited about the features and improvements that make up for it.
