Bravely Default HD Remaster Out Now on Nintendo Switch 2

By Josh PiedraJune 5, 2025
Bravely Default

Have you heard of this game? To me, it doesn’t Ringabel…

Today, SQUARE ENIX® released the highly anticipated BRAVELY DEFAULT™ FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster, a beautiful revival of one of the most beloved RPGs of the century. Now available on the new Nintendo Switch™ 2 system, this HD remaster invites players to relive the epic journey with enhanced visuals and brand-new minigames.

Originally released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS, BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster brings the unforgettable story, iconic characters designed by Akihiko Yoshida (FINAL FANTASY TACTICS, NieR:Automata) and innovative “Brave & Default” turn-based battle system to the current generation of gamers for the Nintendo Switch 2 system. The HD remaster is perfect for long-time fans to revisit the world of Luxendarc and for newcomers alike.

Bravely Default

The Nintendo Switch 2 system exclusive remaster contains two brand-new minigames that utilize the hardware’s mouse controls. In Luxencheer Rhythm Catch, a rhythm-based game, players will use the mice as light sticks and put on a rousing performance. In Ringabel’s Panic Cruise, players will use the mice to steer an airship while fulfilling various requests from your party members, putting players’ multitasking skills to the test. Players can earn various rewards by playing these minigames such as the new notes, an accessory to completely disable enemy encounters and costumes to change the characters’ appearances.

BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster is set in Luxendarc, a world where four elemental crystals maintain peace and balance. When darkness suddenly emerges from the Great Chasm that left a gaping void in the world, the warriors of light will embark on an adventure to save the world from calamity. Players will join Agnès Oblige, the vestal of the Wind Crystal, Tiz Arrior, a kind shepherd and sole survivor of the Great Chasm that engulfed his hometown, Edea Lee, the only daughter of the grand marshal of the Duchy of Eternia, Ringabel, an amnesiac young man with a mysterious journal that has chronicled future events and Airy, a cryst-fairy, on an epic journey to restore light to the crystals and bring peace to the world.

Players can work strategically to control the flow of battle with the innovative “Brave & Default” battle system: Brave to expend Brave Points to increase the number of actions taken in turn, and Default to stock up a turn while shoring up defenses. With the game’s job system that features over 20 unique jobs, players can mix and match different jobs and abilities to experiment with a huge variety of party compositions. Thrilling turn-based battles, which can be sped up by the player as desired, are enhanced further by a larger-than-life soundtrack from Revo, making BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster a can’t miss for RPG enthusiasts.

BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB and is now available to purchase for $39.99 in the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and select retailers. For more information, visit: https://www.square-enix-games.com/games/bravely-default-flying-fairy-hd-remaster
