The revered GameCube JRPG duology are on the way to Nintendo Switch and finally have a release date - 14th September 2023.

This remaster features several QOL improvements, including the ability to turn off random encounters and to speed up gameplay. Early adopters can also get their hands on a nifty art book, pictured above.

The English dub for Origins is no longer present, most likely due to the criticism it received at the time of its original release, but it was so cheesy that fans have grown to love it over the years, so whether or not its exclusion is a good or bad thing rests in the eye (or indeed ear) of the beholder.

Check out the official word from the publisher below, along with a brand new trailer:

Two JRPG masterpieces return. Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins are back with improved graphics and new features to aid game progression, making them even easier to play!

A long time ago, there was a great conflict between the evil god and the people. After a fierce battle, the people managed to seal off the evil god, but what was left behind was only a desolate land. The people thus chose to abandon the land and live in the sky.

Such fairy tales were passed down as legends. At this time, people had wings called Wings of the Heart and lived a peaceful life. It was an era of long-lasting tranquility. ...But the collapse had quietly begun.

When a young man calls your name, the name of the spirit, the story begins to unfold. A story set on a floating continent in the sky, where thoughts and prayers intersect.

*Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean is available with subtitles in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish.

Baten Kaitos Origins is available with subtitles only in English.
