Bandai Namco Continues Its 30th Anniversary Celebration With Tales of Eternia Remastered
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Bandai Namco has announced that Tales of Eternia Remastered will launch on consoles and Steam on October 16 as part of the publisher's ongoing 30th-anniversary remaster project.
The ongoing revival of Bandai Namco's classic JRPG catalog is adding another heavy hitter to the lineup. As reported by Polygon, Tales of Eternia Remastered is officially heading to modern consoles and Steam on October 16, marking the fourth installment in the publisher's Tales Remaster Project. This release gives a new generation of players a chance to experience a celebrated title that originally launched on the PlayStation back in 2000.
For players outside of Japan, the history of this specific entry is a bit of a nostalgic trip into the quirky localization era of the early 2000s. When it first arrived in North America in 2001, it was rebranded as Tales of Destiny 2, despite not being a direct sequel. That bit of historical marketing confusion is finally being cleared up as the game returns under its proper banner with quality-of-life updates suitable for today's multi-platform gaming ecosystem.
Narratively, the game follows a hunter named Reid and a mysterious, dimension-jumping girl named Meredy as they get caught up in a sprawling conflict spanning two parallel worlds. As modern gaming continues to lean heavily into both nostalgia and digital preservation, bringing these foundational titles to Steam and current hardware ensures that classic JRPGs remain accessible alongside today's massive live-service giants and blockbuster releases.
