Finally, we have a release date announced by Bandai Namco as Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will be coming out on the Nintendo Switch on 11th of January 2019.

There was also the hint of a steelbook edition possibly coming to the Switch as well in the latest Tweet, hopefully there will be a choice between it and the standard edition, though I must admit it does look very nice indeed.

Check out the picture of it for yourself in addition to the Tweet below and a recent trailer showing off some of the additional content...

Because of course, Repede is the REAL star in Tales of Vesperia.

Thanks to forum member Hero-of-Time for the heads-up.

Are you as exctied for this game to come out again as I am? Will this be the first time you've played this title or any other in the Tales of... series? Do you like the idea of a Repede purple steelbook but don't want to ruin the continuity of your boxed Switch games collection? (OK, that one might be just me)
