Bandai Namco has also been hosting developer message videos for the title, demonstrating the development process in facets regarding combat design, art direction, approachability, and far more. Seeing the perspectives of the developers is always a thought-provoking and well-appreciated treat.

Additionally, there are 12 minutes of raw gameplay that can be viewed right now from the game’s Japanese build, revealing the smooth and slick combat transitions alongside the wondrously designed world.

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.
