The Tales series is one of the most popular JRPG series in existence, with 13 main titles (not including remakes) and a ton of spin-off games. Recently, producer Hideo Baba spoke in an interview with Weekly Famitsu how Namco Bandai is planning on the next in the series with a new and more modern look than its predecessors.
Tales games are generally known for high fantasy, but the next one will take a new route, according to a report.
The Japanese role-playing game Tales of Xillia could be jetting across the ocean at some point in the near future. Gaming site Siliconera reports that it has found a US trademark for the recent Tales game, which developer Namco Bandai released for PlayStation 3 last year in Japan.
Lastyear, Tales producer Makoto Yoshizumi obliquely tweeted, “Meetings and conferences, sleepiness and struggle, it was a day of live or die.” That day has come. The Tales Studio is no more.
