Bandai Namco is about to reveal the anime-style opening cutscene of its upcoming cross-generation JRPG Tales of Arise.
The publisher revealed six stills of the cutscene, which you can enjoy below (sources: 1, 2, 3, 4).
The reveal will be during a livestream tomorrow at 9:00 pm Japan time. Bandai Namco also teased that the livestream will reveal “that interaction” among characters, probably hinting at the iconic skits.
Tales of Arise is coming on September 10 (September 9 in Japan) for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
If you want to take another look at the game, you can enjoy the trailer showcasing Shionne, one focusing on Alphen, a video introducing the battle system, lots of gameplay, the latest screenshots, a recent trailer, the previous trailers and screenshots, more gameplay, another reveal including details on editions and bonuses, another trailer, one more, another promotional video in English, some screenshots and artwork, the first batch of images, and the original announcement trailer.
If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can read an official description below and my hands-on preview.
“Tales of ARISE follows the story of Alphen, an iron-masked individual whose home planet of Dahna has been enslaved and stripped of natural resources for the past 300 years by the nearby planet of Rena. As Alphen fights to free his people he encounters Shionne, a girl from Rena who is on the run from her countrymen. Both Alphen and Shionne will be joined throughout the journey by a supporting cast of characters to help in their fight for freedom.
