This version packages the base game with the “Beyond the Dawn” additional content. The add-on introduces new quests alongside various in-game items.

What’s in the Switch 2 Release
The Beyond the Dawn Edition consolidates the core adventure and its add-on in a single package. Here is what Bandai Namco lists:
- Base game Tales of ARISE
- “Beyond the Dawn” additional content – new quests and assorted in-game items
Story Setup and Playable Cast
The game centers on a long-running conflict between two worlds: for 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna, extracting its resources and subjugating its people. Against this backdrop, two protagonists from opposite sides set out to change their destinies.
Players follow Alphen, a masked amnesiac who cannot feel pain, and Shionne, a woman cursed to cause pain on contact. Over the journey they team up with a wider party and confront the Renan Lords in an effort to free Dahna.
Combat and Presentation
Tales of ARISE is framed as a JRPG built around a cast-driven narrative and a combat system designed to be approachable while delivering satisfying payoffs. The story unfolds across a richly realized world that underpins the campaign’s exploration and battles.
