Tales of Xillia Remaster Announced for Switch PS5 Xbox Series and PC
Bandai Namco has confirmed a remaster of Tales of Xillia. The package adds an option to toggle enemy encounters on or off and includes the game’s original DLC. It will release on October 31 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The news came with an official reveal after a teaser livestream and social posts.
Xillia first launched in 2011 in Japan and 2013 elsewhere on PS3. The remaster is part of Bandai Namco's broader Tales remaster program that includes other titles. Some fans had hoped for Tales of the Abyss remaster, which could affect how the lineup is received. The new release may help bring back players who missed the PS3 era and attract new ones who never played the series.

Fan reaction framing
Bandai Namco is betting on nostalgia as a growth strategy in a crowded market. A remaster can reach players who skipped the PS3 era and win new fans on current consoles and PC.
The move to foreground Xillia over Abyss shows a clear preference for what the company thinks audiences want. If the remaster performs well, it could pave the way for more classics to return. If not, fans may push back and demand different titles in future revivals.

Remaster plans risk fan backlash and budget scrutiny
The decision to remaster Tales of Xillia instead of other titles could disappoint fans hoping for Abyss. That choice, combined with a multi platform release and added DLC, means investors and publishers will watch the financials closely. Public reaction will shape how Bandai Namco proceeds with future remasters.
The remaster signals a cautious but clear bet on reviving classic games for a new generation.
