RETURN TO THE SKIES AND RECLAIM THE LOST OCEAN WITH BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER, AVAILABLE NOW ON NINTENDO SWITCH

Lyon, France, (Sept. 15, 2023): Leading video game publisher and developer Bandai Namco Europe S.A.S. today announced that BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER is available now on Nintendo Switch™. The collection will give players the opportunity to experience the emotional journeys of both BATEN KAITOS: ETERNAL WINGS AND THE LOST OCEAN and BATEN KAITOS ORIGINS, which were originally released for the Nintendo GameCube.

The BATEN KAITOS series features distinct card-based RPG play mechanics that allow for split-second decisions, edging participants closer to victory. In each title, players will take the role of a Guardian Spirit and guide the protagonist and companions through unique adventures in each game:

  • BATEN KAITOS: ETERNAL WINGS AND THE LOST OCEAN tells the story of Kalas who, while seeking revenge for the death of his brother and grandfather, meets Xelha as they both embark on a journey to defeat the Alfard Empire.
  • BATEN KAITOS ORIGINS takes place 20 years before the events of the first game. The story involves Sagi, a “spiriter” that has a connection with Guardian Spirits and who is part of the Dark Service, an elite unit of the Alfard Empire. Sagi sets on a journey to clear his name after being framed, and to unveil the empire’s secrets.

BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER enhances the gameplay of the original games with new features. The remaster includes an “Instant KO” setting that will let players defeat the enemy in one single attack, a major increase to game and battle speeds, and a “No Encounters” setting that will let players avoid battles, along with additional new settings that support game progression.

In addition to the BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER release, players can now enjoy both game’s soundtracks on digital distribution services such as iTunes, Apple Music or Spotify or YouTube. The soundtrack for BATEN KAITOS: ETERNAL WINGS AND THE LOST OCEAN is available here, while the soundtrack for BATEN KAITOS ORIGINS is available here.

The brand-new trailer can also be found here.

BATEN KAITOS I & II HD REMASTER is now available on Nintendo Switch™.
