BANDAI NAMCO also announces Tales of Arise, a new installment in the JRPG series
coming to Windows and consoles next year. Here's
a trailer with an
overview, and here are some details:
Tales of Arise takes place in a
solar system containing the two neighboring planets of Dahna and Rena. The
inhabitants of Dahna have always paid reverence to their planetary neighbors on
Rena – a planet they can clearly see in their sky – as a land of the righteous
and divine. For the people of Dahna, legends and lore about Rena and its
inhabitants have been handed down for countless generations, and through time,
have become facts in their minds that have actually masked a cruel reality for
the people of Dahna. For 300 years, the people of Rena have ruled over Dahna,
pillaging the planet of its resources and stripping its people of their dignity
and freedom. Tales of Arise begins with two people, born on different worlds,
each longing to change their fate and create a new future for themselves and
perhaps their people. Featuring an original cast of characters, a dramatic
storyline, dynamic combat, breath-taking environments, with some classic Tales
Of elements included, Tales of Arise marks a new beginning for the famed JRPG
franchise.
