Since the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Tales Of series, Bandai Namco has been remastering several iconic titles, such as Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia, and more recently, Tales of Berseria. This trend of revitalizing classics seems to continue, as it has been announced that Tales of Eternia will be the next to receive a remastering treatment.
Not the one everyone was expecting
Tales of Eternia, originally released in Japan in 2000 and known as Tales of Destiny 2 in the United States, is a 2D JRPG that stood out at a time when 3D games were predominant. This remaster will allow players to reconnect with a work that enjoyed enough popularity in Japan to deserve a port to PSP, also released in Europe and Australia.
Recently, the video game rating site PEGI listed Tales of Eternia Remastered as an upcoming release, confirming the Nintendo Switch as one of the platforms, although it is considered unlikely to be a console exclusive. This return of a classic title has generated excitement not only among fans of the series, but also among casual gamers who appreciate the opportunity to play titles that were previously exclusive to older platforms.
Despite some observers expecting Bandai Namco to opt for remastering other titles, such as Tales Of Xillia 2, the focus on Tales of Eternia has taken some by surprise. However, this has not generated discouragement; many consider the rescue of these games that could have fallen into oblivion to be valuable. Although the release date has not yet been confirmed, the interest in the arrival of Tales of Eternia Remastered is undeniable and promises to rekindle nostalgia among players.
