Break the Chains of Fate. A Tale of Liberation, Love, and Revolution.
Tales of Arise is the seventeenth main entry in the legendary Tales series, developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment . Released originally in September 2021 and now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 from May 21, 2026, this critically acclaimed action RPG revitalizes the beloved franchise with stunning Unreal Engine 4 visuals, a mature storyline, and a revamped combat system .
Set in the long-suffering world of Dahna, which has been exploited for 300 years by the technologically superior invaders from the neighboring planet Rena, the game tells a dark, emotional story about oppression, revolution, and emotional trauma. You follow Alphen, a young man wearing a mysterious mask who feels no pain, and Shionne, a girl cursed with thorns that inflict agony on anyone she touches . Together, this unlikely duo must lead a resistance against their Rena overlords to liberate their people and break their personal curses.
Boasting a mature narrative that tackles themes of slavery and sacrifice, heart-pounding action combat, and breathtaking animated cutscenes by Ufotable (famous for Demon Slayer), Tales of Arise is a modern JRPG masterpiece .
