/ Carlos Hernandez
Developer Bandai Namco revealed that the next entry to the Tales Of series, Tales of Arise, is set for a September 10 (Sept 9 for Japan) for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Check out the new trailer for the JPRG below.
The last time we heard about Tales of Arise was last year when it was delayed indefinitely due to the ongoing pandemic last June. Now, it looks like the team at Bandai is more prepared for the release of Arise with the announcement of a September release date. It was original set for a 2020 release.
This is also the first time we heard of Tales of Arise for the current generation of consoles, as Famitsu reports that the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version of the game will feature a 60 FPS performance mode and a 4K visual mode.
More footage of the game in action was released as well via Famitsu and the video below can give you a clear idea of the gameplay and the new visuals as Tales of Arise will be the first game in the series to be built using Unreal Engine 4, instead of the inhouse engine Bandai Namco has which was used in previous Tales Of titles.
Check out the gameplay below.
Bandai has been rather quiet with Arise this year but it’s good to finally get new details and release date to keep an eye on as it’s been awhile since we had an action JRPG from this series. The visuals is looking to be a vast improvement compared to previous titles while gameplay remains similar, staying true to what the series is known for.
Tales of Arise was announced back in E3 2019 and is the 17th main entry for the Tales series. The Tales Of game was Tales of Berseria which was released back in 2016.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reuses the Infinite Wealth setting that still feels fresh and exciting for many and is packed with an absurd pirate theme that reminds us that the Yakuza series can go anywhere it wants and still find ways to entertain. Over 10 hours in, Pirate Yakuza is already showing that RGG can still give reason to invest time on their spinoff projects.

A couple of weeks after the launch of anime extraction shooter Synduality: Echo of Ada, Bandai Namco and developer Game Studio revealed that the game’s season 1 update will include a new map called East Amasia, new Requests (quests), gear, and more.
Synduality Echo of Ada has potential, but its flawed economy, tedious grind, and lack of meaningful story incentives make it hard to recommend in its current state. Without drastic improvements, it risks being forgotten before it ever finds a steady audience.
Sony will no longer require PC players to sign up for a PSN account to play any of Sony’s games when they become available on PC. Moving forward, the incentive for having a PSN will be in the form of in-game rewards.
