New Tales of Arise Trailer Introduces Shionne Arguably Making Her Best Girl

Bandai Namco released new gameplay highlighting one of the main protagonists, Shionne.

The gameplay goes into a bit of detail about the character’s back story and a curse that affects her. She seems to come from a troubled situation, but that doesn’t stop her drive to fight for her goals. It’s also nice to see two different sides of her as she’s angry at those who have imprisoned her, but also has a sense of fashion and admiration at the end of the trailer.

Tales of Arise advances the graphics with this new “Atmospheric Shader,” which is meant to present the world as if it were a hand-drawn painting. Further, the combat has evolved, allowing for a better sense of spectacle and direct player feedback based upon their actions. The graphics, combat system, characters, and story all work together to present a vivid and realized world that the developer hopes will immerse players.

Tales of Arise is launching worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC on September 10, 2021.

In case you missed it, check out 12-minutes of raw gameplay from the Japanese build and Alphen’s character trailer.
