Bandai Namco Entertainment Korea released the Korean version of 'Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn Edition' for the Nintendo Switch 2 on the 21st. This edition includes the base game 'Tales of Arise,' the expansion scenario 'Beyond the Dawn,' and extra quests centered on the protagonist and heroine.

'Tales of Arise' is an action RPG centered on themes of 300 years of oppression, a mysterious mask, and lost memories and pain. The story follows Alphen, a protagonist who has lost the sense of pain, as he becomes the wielder of the Flaming Sword. Alongside a girl cursed by 'thorns' that inflict pain on anyone she touches, and their companions, he fights against their oppressors. Set in a world devastated by invaders from another planet, the journey depicts their quest to liberate the people from cruel rule and break the girl's curse.

Combat is based on distinct battle styles for each character. The core of the action system involves using special attacks and chaining combos tailored to enemy characteristics and the flow of battle. The 'Beyond the Dawn' expansion is an epilogue set one year after the main story, and it includes additional quests, costumes, and items.

In addition to the standard physical and digital versions, a digital-only 'Premium Edition' is also available. The Premium Edition bundles the base game and 'Beyond the Dawn' with a Premium Upgrade Pack, which includes costumes, hairstyles, weapons, attachments, items, level-ups, and Gald. Separate DLC options include the Premium Upgrade Pack, Arrange BGM Pack, Travel Premium Pack, Starter Pack, Item/Costume Premium Pack, and Collaboration Costume Pack.

A 'Sword Art Online: Alicization' collaboration pack is also included. It features the Jet-Black Coat and Swordsman's Natural Hair for Alphen, the Goddess of Creation's Equipment and Noble Ponytail for Shionne, and the Integrity Knight's Uniform and Integrity Knight's Ash Hair for Law. The exclusive quest 'Centoria Training' can be enjoyed at the training grounds. Depending on game progress, there may be certain segments where collaboration battles are unavailable.
