Bandai Namco officially announcedTales of Arisefor Xbox One, PS4, and PC during the Xbox E3 2019 conference. As you probably already know though, the game has leaked ahead of its reveal. However, we’ve got the full story onTales of Arisenow, including its story synopsis, its first screenshots, and comments from its producer.
Tales of Arise’s stage is set on two neighboring planets, Dahna and Rena. The people of Dahna consider planet Rena as a divine realm and has been handing down legends about the planet and its people through generations. This led the people of Dahna to forget the terrible truth. Rena is actually ruling over Dahna with a hand of steel, preventing the planet to develop itself by pillaging its resources. The people of Dahna have been enslaved by Rena for over 300 years now. Planet Dahna is an undeveloped land where nature kept its rights. Meanwhile, Rena is an advanced civilization with evolved science and magic.
Tales of Arisebegins with the fateful meeting of its protagonists: a young man with an iron mask from planet Dahna, and a young woman from planet Rena, who is currently on the run from her clan for a certain reason. Together, they strive to forge a new future for themselves and their people.
Tales of Arise’s trailer, included below, makes it clear the series is getting a huge graphical update. Another element jumping out is how the trailer was tailor-made for everything to look spectacular, such as including giant monsters. It feels a lot likeGod Eater, and it isn’t a coincidence, asTales of Arise’s Producer is Yusuke Tomizawa, who producesGod EaterandCode Vein. This switch in producers happened back in 2018, andTales of Ariseis the first newTalesof games Yusuke Tomizawa will be handling. As for now, Yusuke Tomizawa only produced theTales of Vesperia Remaster.
Comments by Yusuke Tomizawa have been published by Bandai Namco Japan:

I’m looking forward as to howTales of Arisewill turn out. The story seems eerily similar toTales of Symphoniatoo so I wonder how this will pan out. you may findTales of Arise’s first screenshots, artwork, and trailer below.
