Tales of Eternia Remastered Deluxe Edition and DLC

Tales of Eternia Remastered ships in two editions and carries exactly seven downloadable extras. The base game is $29.99 / EUR 29.99 / GBP 24.99 / CNY 138.00 depending on your store region. The Deluxe Edition bundle is $49.99 / EUR 49.99 / GBP 44.99 / CNY 248.00, and the standalone Deluxe Upgrade Pack is $24.99 / EUR 24.99 / GBP 21.99 / CNY 148.00. The remaining six entries are level-up packs: four Lv. Up+5 items at $1.99 each and two Lv. Up+10 items at $2.99 each. All seven DLC listings went live with the game, dated 15 Oct, 2026, and Bandai Namco's own pricing lists the Deluxe Edition as digital only.

Two restrictions are easier to miss than the contents list. The Battle BGM replacement applies only to random-encounter battles, and only for players who own the Deluxe Edition or the Deluxe Upgrade Pack. The Digital Artbook and Soundtrack ships as a separate application rather than unlocking inside the game.

• Seven DLC entries, not eight: one Upgrade Pack plus six level-up packs. There is no standalone Battle BGM Pack listing, so the music swap is only ever bought inside a Deluxe purchase.
• The Deluxe Edition contents list names no Lv. Up pack, so extra levels are always a separate purchase.
• Both Lv. Up descriptions carry the same footnote: level 250 cannot be exceeded.
• Prices and store details on this page were read on October 17, 2026, two days after launch. Regional pricing moves, and the level-up packs are the entries most likely to be discounted first.

Every DLC Entry and What It Costs

The Steam ID column is the number in each store URL, so store.steampowered.com/app/<id>/ opens the listing even when a regional search returns something else first. Everything below the Upgrade Pack row is DLC that points back at the base game.

The names are worth reading literally. The four Lv. Up+5 entries are four separate store listings with identical descriptions, and the two Lv. Up+10 entries repeat that pattern at a higher step. Bandai Namco has published no combined item and no bundle for them, so the only documented way to take more than ten levels at once is buying more than one entry. What the official text does state is the ceiling:

This is an in-game item for Tales of Eternia Remastered that increases the level of all party members by +5.

*Maximum level 250 cannot be exceeded.

That wording appears verbatim on all six level-up listings, with +10 in place of +5 on the two higher entries. Note that the description says all party members, so a single entry moves the whole roster rather than one character. A player who wants no part of grinding has six official ways to skip it, and none of them is sold inside the Deluxe Edition.

Level 250 is the only hard number Bandai Namco has attached to these items. Nothing official states whether the packs stack, whether they are consumed on use, or whether they can be bought twice on one account.

What the Deluxe Edition Actually Contains

Four components, listed by Bandai Namco in the launch announcement and repeated in the store description:

The 'Deluxe Edition' includes a 'Digital Artbook' featuring extensive setting materials and illustrations, a 'Digital Soundtrack' containing all 109 in-game BGM tracks, a 'Battle BGM pack' that allows you to replace standard battle music with BGM from previous series installments, and a 'Super Growth Support Item Set' that enhances character parameters.

The 109-track figure is worth pausing on, because it is the only content number in the whole Deluxe package. Bandai Namco has published no track list for either the soundtrack or the Battle BGM Pack, so anyone quoting specific themes is working from somewhere other than an official source. What the official description does confirm is the shape of the Battle BGM Pack: standard battle themes pulled from earlier games in the series, swapped in as a replacement for the default fight music rather than added alongside it.

The Super Growth Support Item Set is the vaguest of the four, and that vagueness is official. Bandai Namco's European feature article reduces it to a set of various consumable items, and the store listing does not enumerate them. It is also not interchangeable with the six Lv. Up packs, despite the similar-sounding purpose: the Deluxe contents list names no level-up item at all.

The European pricing announcement notes the Deluxe Edition is digital-only, which matches what the console storefronts sell: no Deluxe physical edition has been announced for North America or Europe.

The Two Restrictions in the Fine Print

Both of these are printed in official material, and both change what you are actually buying.

The Battle BGM swap only works in random encounters

The official Japanese change list describes the new Battle BGM Settings menu and then attaches two asterisked conditions:

We've added a new item to Menu > Custom > "Battle BGM Settings". You can now enjoy the background music played during battles using the songs you've selected in "Battle BGM Selection Settings". The background music change will only apply to random encounter battles. This applies only to those who have purchased the Deluxe Edition or Deluxe Upgrade Pack.

Official source: Tales of Eternia Remastered change list (Bandai Namco official site, Japanese)

Official source: Published English translation of the same change list

The first sentence is the one that matters for a purchase decision: the setting lives behind Menu > Custom > Battle BGM Settings, so the menu entry exists on every copy of the game, but it does nothing unless the entitlement is present and the fight is a random encounter.

Practically, that means the music you most want to replace is the music you cannot replace. Boss themes, event battles and anything scripted keep their original tracks. If you bought the Deluxe Edition mainly for the soundtrack swap, you paid for a random-encounter-only feature, and the remaster's own encounter toggle gives you a second reason to care: with encounters switched off, the feature never triggers at all.

The artbook and soundtrack are a separate application

The Deluxe Upgrade Pack's store description ends with this line, asterisk and all:

*The Digital Artbook & Soundtrack is a separate application from the main game.

So it is not an in-game gallery or a music player unlocked by a flag. It installs and launches as its own application, which is why some players who finished installing the base game reported that the artbook appeared to be missing: it is not part of the base download and not part of the Deluxe Edition download. Where exactly it surfaces depends on the platform, and Bandai Namco has not published a per-platform install guide, so treat the store line as the specification and expect a second library entry rather than a menu option.

The two restrictions together explain most of the launch-week confusion around the Deluxe Edition: the Battle BGM Pack never touches boss fights, and the artbook and soundtrack never appear inside the game.

Deluxe Edition, Upgrade Pack, or Base Game Only

The bundle is cheaper than the parts, and the gap is small but real in every region checked.

Buying the bundle is strictly cheaper than buying the base game and deciding later that you want the extras, in all four regions. Nothing official gates the Upgrade Pack behind the bundle either: it is a normal purchase for anyone who owns the base game, and Bandai Namco has announced no separate discount on it for base-game owners.

The Upgrade Pack's own contents list is exactly the Deluxe Edition minus the game: Battle BGM Pack, Digital Artbook and Soundtrack, and Super Growth Support Item Set, with the separate-application note attached. That is the entire difference between the two purchases.

Are the Lv. Up Packs Worth Buying

Six entries, two price points, and one arithmetic fact worth knowing before you click: the +10 packs are cheaper per level than the +5 packs.

If you are going to buy levels, buy the +10 entries. Four of the cheap pack cost $7.96 for twenty levels and deliver them five at a time, while both +10 entries cost $5.98 for the same twenty levels in two clicks. There is no official statement that a single use of a level-up item is capped below its advertised amount, so the only reason to prefer the +5 pack would be buying exactly five levels and no more.

Two caveats before treating these as a difficulty setting. First, the note on all six descriptions caps the effect at level 250, so late-game or second-playthrough characters are the ones most likely to hit a ceiling they cannot see coming. Second, the remaster already hands you ways to skip the grind without paying: encounters can be switched off entirely, and auto-battle has a high-speed mode, both of which Bandai Namco lists as launch features. Spending money on levels is the fastest route, not the only one.

One more dated figure for the buy-or-wait decision, with the sample size attached: as of October 17, 2026, the Steam release carried 38 English-language reviews, 31 positive and 7 negative. That is two days of a launch window and a small enough sample that it should not be read as a verdict on either edition.

FAQ

Is the Deluxe Edition worth it in Tales of Eternia Remastered? Only if you want the battle music swap or the 109-track soundtrack. The bundle saves $4.99, EUR 4.99, GBP 1.99 or CNY 38.00 over buying the base game and the Upgrade Pack separately, and the Upgrade Pack is a convenience and media bundle with no story content, characters or dungeons behind it. If you are unsure, buy the base game first: the Upgrade Pack stays available as a standalone purchase under either edition.

What do I actually get in the Deluxe Edition of Tales of Eternia Remastered? Four things: the base game, the Battle BGM Pack, the Digital Artbook and Soundtrack, and the Super Growth Support Item Set. The Artbook and Soundtrack is a separate application rather than an in-game unlock, and the Battle BGM Pack only works in random-encounter battles.

Why can't I change the battle music even though I own the Deluxe Edition? Check two things. The Battle BGM setting is under Menu > Custom > Battle BGM Settings, and the change only applies to random-encounter battles, so boss fights and scripted battles keep their original tracks. If encounters are switched off, the feature has nothing to trigger on.

How many DLC packs does Tales of Eternia Remastered have? Seven, of which one is the Deluxe Upgrade Pack and six are level-up packs. Four of the six are Lv. Up+5 entries at $1.99 each and two are Lv. Up+10 entries at $2.99 each. There is no standalone Battle BGM Pack listing.

Do the Lv. Up packs work on the whole party? Yes. The official description states they increase the level of all party members, by 5 or by 10 depending on the pack, and all six carry the same note that maximum level 250 cannot be exceeded.

Can I buy the level packs without the Deluxe Edition? Yes. All six level-up packs are separate DLC listings that attach to the base game. None of them requires the Deluxe Edition or the Upgrade Pack.
