Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn Reveals Profile & Render for New Character, Nazamil

Bandai Namco has revealed the profile for the new main character appearing in the upcoming Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn expansion, Nazamil. Her official character render has been presented, too. Additionally, the Tales of fansite Abyssal Chronicles caught that Nazamil will not be playable, instead primarily appearing throughout cutscenes.

Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn is a story set one year after the ending of Tales of Arise. Alphen, Shionne, and the rest of the party meet a new character by the name of Nazamil, a misfortunate young girl who is the daughter of a Renan lord and a Dahnan slave. Players can anticipate over 20 hours of content, with new dungeons, costumes, sidequests, and boss battles.

Regarding carry-over boons, players will be rewarded various bonuses dependent on their achievement progress in the main game. But you will still be able to play Beyond the Dawn even if you haven’t yet beaten Tales of Arise, even though you’ll need the base game to even play this content in the first place. Characters will also start at predetermined levels in this expansion for balancing reasons.
