In commemoration of the Tales of series’ 20 year anniversary, Namco Bandai held a special NicoNico Live stream, to look back at the franchise’s past work and to announce the latest title in Tales of Zestiria for PlayStation 3.

 

 

 

After thanking fans and staff members, series producer Hideo Baba presented a video of the latest game, Tales of Zestiria. The game takes place in a world has once fallen to darkness, but has regained light thanks to a high-priest. However, after ages of peace, darkness returns and this time the priest is nowhere to be found.

 

 

 

The character designs will be done by series artists Mutsumi Inomata (Graces), Kosuke Fujishima (Symphonia), Daigo Okumura (Dawn of the New World), and Jin Iwamoto (Radiant Mythology).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not much was revealed, but they announced that the male character seen above is named Slay, and the girl is Alicia. The game takes place in a world called, Green Wood, and producer Baba mentioned that they will be focusing a lot on exploration.

 

 

Tales of Zestiria will also feature some sort of new battle system that was designed after evaluating fan feedback from questionnaires. Hideo Baba says that they’ll be announcing more on the battle system in a later announcement, but he expects it to be something new that fans can expect to look forward to.

 

The story will revolve around the subject of “dragons,” which is also the reason why it’s shown in the logo of the new title. According to Baba, dragons symbolize fantasy, which is something they’d like to focus on for the upcoming title. The game will also focus a lot on the explorative aspect of the game, with various terrains and landscapes to explore in the lands of Green Wood.

 

 

 

Hikaru Kondo, producer of Japanese animation studio Ufotable, who worked on the Tales of Symphonia OVAs, will also be involved in the development of Tales of Zestiria.

The MC name is Slay and the game has dragons. Tales of games really likes using characters with red hair.
