BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America announces
Tales of Symphonia (or more
typically, TALES OF SYMPHONIA) is coming to Windows via
Steam, offering a
chance to play the remake of the 2003 installment in the RPG series. They add
that customers who pre-purchase
Tales of Zestiria (aka TALES OF ZESTIRIA)
on Steam will have an
opportunity to get a free copy of Tales of Symphonia as a scaling preorder
bonus. We're just going to pretend we knew a Windows version of Tales of
Zestiria was coming, since it's presented like we should have. They don't offer
a release date for Tales of Symphonia, but say Tales of Zestiria is due on
October 23rd. Here's word:
Leading electronic entertainment developer and
publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today announced TALES OF
SYMPHONIA™ for PC via STEAM for the Americas in order to better serve fans in
the West who have adopted the PC as their preferred gaming platform.
Follow Lloyd Irving as he embarks on a grand adventure with his friends to
restore mana back to the world of Sylvarant, a source of energy necessary for
the survival of their world. Along the way they learn of the parallel world of
Tethe’alla, whose survival rests on the same source of mana Sylvarant needs to
sustain life. How will Lloyd and his friends find a way to ensure the survival
of both worlds? TALES OF SYMPHONIA takes the signature real-time battle system
of the TALES OF role-playing games, allowing for direct control of the character
through fast-paced tactical battles.
As a special bonus, fans who pre-order the STEAM version of TALES OF ZESTIRIA
will have a chance to receive a free copy of TALES OF SYMPHONIA. Multiple
pre-order rewards will unlock for everyone who pre-orders the title once certain
pre-order milestones are reached. Every fan who pre-orders TALES OF ZESTIRIA
will receive the game, classic TALES OF Mystic Artes and weapon attachment sets.
The first tier of bonus pre-order content will include four classic TALES OF
male costumes, the second tier includes four classic TALES OF female costumes,
and the final tier is a free STEAM copy of TALES OF SYMPHONIA.
