Tales

That incredibly good-looking Tales game leaked on Friday? It’s Tales of Arise, coming to Xbox, PC and PlayStation 4 in 2020. Here’s the trailer as seen during Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, which helped fans of hot anime bullshit survive the nearly two-hour presentation. 

The official Twitter for Square Enix’s Studio Istolia is M.I.A., and the studio’s official site is gone. In March, former Tales producer Hideo Baba, who had been working on a new game for Studio Istolia, left the company. The status of the game, known as Project Prelude Rune, is still unclear. 

Tales of Vesperia is getting a stage play in Japan, Famitsu reports. It’s the latest “Tales of the Stage” and follows the popular adaptation Tales of the Abyss.

A new Tales game has been announced! It’s a completely new game called Tales of Crestoria and slated for release on mobile in Japan. No word yet on an international release. 

Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition arrives on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Switch on January 11, 2019. If you played the North American Xbox 360 version without all the cool Japanese Ps3 exclusive stuff that’s being included in the Definitive Edition, you pretty much failed as a Tales fan. Sorry.

The three-day Tales Festival, celebrating the Tales RPGs, has wrapped up in Japan. Fans seem disappointed that a new Tales console title wasn’t announced at this year’s event. There were, however, trailers for new mobile phone games (here, here, and here). 

Here’s a look at upcoming TV anime Tales of Zestiria the X. It begins broadcasting next month in Japan.

Tales of Zestiria the X, the upcoming Tales TV anime, will begin broadcast this summer in Japan.

Good news, Tales fans: Tales of Zestiria, previously announced for PS3, will also hit PS4 and PC when it comes to North America and Europe this October. If only all Japanese companies treated their western fans this well.
