Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster releases on June 5 for Nintendo Switch 2
A full remaster of the original Bravely Default is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on launch day as revealed in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in the form of Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster.
Initially released on the 3DS back in 2012 in Japan with an upgraded version released a year later for the west and in Japan as "Bravely Default: For the Sequel". Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster includes new and enhanced features and all-new mini-games.
Bravely Default employs a distinctive turn-based gameplay style centered around its Brave and Default mechanics. Defaulting allows you to defend and store actions, while Braving enables you to execute those stored actions simultaneously, resulting in a fast-paced and exciting combat system. It also allowed players to automate their battles by repeating the last actions they had taken, which was quite a novel inclusion back in 2013.
Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster releases on Nintendo Switch 2 on the system's launch day, June 5, 2025, both digitally and as a new game-key card (which still requires a full game download).
