JOSE, Calif., (June 12, in the year of our Lord 2015) –
Leading digital entertainment company BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment
America Inc. today announced that it will be bringing TALES OF
ZESTIRIA™, the latest entry in their beloved RPG series, to the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC via STEAM®,
in addition to the previously announced version for the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. For more than 20
years, the TALES OF franchise has been captivating fans around
the world with its traditional Japanese RPG elements married
with innovative real-time combat systems and beloved characters.
An unseen evil force known as Malevolence is spreading across
the land, corrupting the world and causing humanity to falter.
Players will embark on an epic journey as Sorey, a young
pure-hearted adventurer whose destiny is to become The Shepard,
an individual of great power that can banish Malevolence. Does
Sorey have the courage and heart to wield this extraordinary
responsibility for good, or will he fall prey to the evils of
its power?
TALES OF ZESTIRIA introduces a new version of its celebrated
real-time battle system, allowing for faster combat with side
dashes and new fusion technique combo opportunities. Throughout
his quest, Sorey will befriend humans and spirits known as
Seraphim, unseen to most humans, to aide him on his journey.
Because of Sorey’s unique ability to communicate with the
Seraphim he is able to fuse with their essence to create new
elemental artes for strategic attacks to decimate foes.
