Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Tales of Xillia Remastered is in development for Nintendo Switch.
This has seen developer DokiDoki GrooveWorks work to enhance the action RPG, which was originally released for PlayStation 3 way back in 2011. You can expect quality-of-life enhancements like auto-save and early access to the Grade Shop, as well as downloadable content from the original game, adding character costumes, bonus items and other extras.
In Tales of Xillia Remastered, you will dive into the magnificent world of Rieze Maxia, where humans and spirits coexist in harmony. You can choose to follow the story of Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman accompanied by four powerful spirits, or Jude Mathis, an aspiring medical student from the capital.
Their paths soon converge as they uncover a dangerous secret: the kingdom of Rashugal is using a weapon that drains mana, threatening the balance of the entire world. Determined to stop the destruction and restore balance, Milla and Jude embark on a daring quest to destroy the device and save their world.
The game uses the Dual Raid Linear Motion Battle System, a real-time combat system that allows you to team up with allies to unleash devastating combo attacks and unlock special support skills to overwhelm foes.
