Tales of Arise was announced at E3 2019 for release in 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It was delayed indefinitely in June 2020, and we haven’t heard much since.
Arise is the 17th main entry in the Tales series of Japanese role-playing games and the follow-up to 2016’s Tales of Berseria. We don’t know much about it save it stars two people from the opposing worlds of Dahna and Rena.
Here’s the official blurb:
“Tales of Arise takes place in a solar system containing the two neighbouring planets of Dahna and Rena. The inhabitants of Dahna have always paid reverence to their planetary neighbours 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 masked a cruel reality for the people of Dahna.
