As excitement builds for a potential new Tales game announcement for the franchise’s 30th anniversary in 2025, fans are buzzing with anticipation for additional surprises, including the possibility of remastered versions of other iconic titles.
Although there hasn’t been an official announcement from Bandai Namco, several retailers in the Czech Republic have listed “Tales of Xillia Remastered” for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
While unannounced game listings from retailers often turn out to be legitimate leaks due to retailer oversight, some cases are just attempts to drive traffic with false information.
This particular leak about Tales of Xillia is accompanied by a unique EAN (European Article Number) registered to Bandai Namco, which suggests it could be genuine. An official announcement might be imminent.
Tales of Xillia is one of the most beloved games in the franchise, remaining exclusive to PlayStation 3 along with its sequel, Tales of Xillia 2. Fans have been requesting a remaster for years, hoping to see these titles on current-generation platforms.
In addition to Tales of Xillia, other popular series like Tales of Graces f, known for its modern gameplay and graphics, also have potential for remastering, which could attract new fans who were introduced to the franchise through Tales of Arise.

While this latest rumor is exciting, it’s important to manage expectations as it remains unconfirmed until an official trademark registration or announcement from Bandai Namco. However, with the franchise’s 30th anniversary next year, there’s a good chance that this rumor might come true, possibly along with news of the next mainline game following Arise.
