Tales of Series Teases Exciting Update

Summary

Bandai Namco plans to reveal a new remastered Tales of game by the end of summer 2025.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating more remasters in the series, with Tales of Symphonia being the most celebrated.
Popular suggestions for the next remastered game include Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Xillia.

Fans of Bandai Namco's Tales of series of RPGs have something to look forward to, as a new remastered project has been announced. There's no clear indication of which Tales of game will be getting the remastered treatment, but Bandai Namco plans to make that matter much clearer later this summer.

The popular RPG series is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2025. Tales of Phantasia was released in 1995 as a Japanese-only title for the Super Famicom, and it didn't make its way overseas until a Game Boy Advance port arrived in 2006. A total of 28 original games in the Tales of series have been released throughout the years, excluding remastered versions, with 2003's Tales of Symphonia being its most celebrated.

Fans have been expecting more remasters in the Tales of series for several months, after series producer Yusuke Tomizawa announced in December 2024 that more games would be getting a revival for the 30th anniversary celebration. A new teaser posted on the series' official social media channels shows that the promise is nearing fruition, promising that the next remastered game will be revealed sometime before the end of summer 2025. The teaser is entirely text-based and is underscored with symphonic music, so there are few, if any, clues about which game players can expect to see getting the remastered treatment next.

A New Tales of Remaster Will Be Revealed This Summer

With such a long-reaching history, there are only a few games in the series that have been remastered so far, leaving a lot of choices on the table. The last two original games in the series, Tales of Arise and the mobile-only Tales of Luminaria, both came out in 2021, while Tales of Graces F Remastered was released this January. Tales of Symphonia has technically been remastered twice; originally packed together with its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, in 2013, and then again as a standalone remastered version in February 2023. Additionally, a remaster of 2008's Tales of Vesperia was released in 2019, packaged as the game's Definitive Edition.

Though there's no way of knowing which game will be next, fans have their Tales of remastered wish lists in mind. There have been several suggestions made by fans, but the two games that have been dominating the conversation appear to be 2005's Tales of the Abyss and 2011's Tales of Xillia. The latter title received a direct sequel in 2012, so it's possible that Bandai Namco could be working to remaster both Tales of Xillia games into one title, much like the company did with the Tales of Symphonia games a dozen years ago.
