Interviewer: Regarding the music, are there any new tracks?

Tomizawa: We have more than 30 new songs written by Motoi Sakuraba… Some are battle songs, including a regular battle song for Beyond the Dawn.

In addition, the Character Costume + Arranged BGM Pack, which will be available on November 9, will include arrangements of past battle songs by Motoi Sakuraba as well. The music is one of the series’ charms, so we have also put a lot of effort into it this time.

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.
