The Newest Tales Remaster Reveals One Big Problem With The Series
"The Tales Series Remastered Project isn't wasting any time getting to its next game, even with Tales of Xillia Remastered releasing just a few weeks ago. And while it's a choice that makes sense, it might be disappointing to fans hoping that Bandai Namco would dig further into the history of its long-running RPG franchise. Tales of Berseria Remastered will arrive in February 2026, making it the third PlayStation 3 remaster in a row."
"Berseria is a fantastic RPG, but it's one of the more modern Tales entries, and will benefit the least from quality-of-life updates. Tales of Berseria came out in 2016 on the PS3, PS4, and PC, and is the series' second-most recent mainline entry. But it occupies an interesting place on the timeline, as both a standalone title and a prequel of sorts to 2015's Tales of Zestiria."
Tales of Berseria Remastered will launch in February 2026 as the third consecutive PlayStation 3 remaster in the series. Berseria released in 2016 on PS3, PS4, and PC and functions as a standalone title and a loose prequel to 2015's Tales of Zestiria. The game already includes many modern convenience features such as objective markers and an improved minimap, so it stands to gain less from remaster quality-of-life updates than older entries. Older titles like Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Destiny, or Japan-only Tales of Rebirth would benefit more. Development choices likely prioritize PS3-era games because rebuilding recent titles in Unity is easier and because lost source code can block remasters.
