PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are locked in too
The next game in theTalesseries is finally ready to set a date.Tales of Arisehas been locked in for a Sept. 10 release date, and it’s also arriving with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions alongside PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Famitsurevealed a wealth of new info about the new entry in theTalesseries this morning. Alongside new screenshots showcasing two additional characters that seem to be joining the party—a previously-teased mage character and a martial arts fighter—there are also two new trailers. The first is the launch date trailer (in English via IGN):
It wasn’t just cinematics, though. A second, longer trailer from Famitsu showcases a few minutes of gameplay fromTales of Arise. Here, we can see the new look of the series in motion, from overworld exploration and dialogue to battles.
Seeing how the team has managed to make it look completely new, with an overhauled style and systems, while still retaining the structures that make it feel veryTales-like is fascinating. I can make out what seem like Artes, and even the overworld seems hazily similar to otherTalesgames, but with a revitalized feel to it.
Tales of Arisehadpreviously been indefinitely delayed, and while the studio hademphasized its new approach to theTalesseries, not much was seen of it. Now, with both a release date, new platforms, and a gameplay video all out in the open, the newTalesis feeling much more real. I’m very much looking forward to September.
