▍About Tales of Arise
As the latest iteration in the Tales series, and marking its 25th anniversary, Tales of Arise is currently available on PS4, Xbox One and Steam, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
While making full use of the features of the latest console platforms to depict fantasy characters and settings in the series’ beloved anime-style, the title also implements its own independently developed “Atmos Shader”. This brings a unique feel to the artwork, creating a highly immersive art style that harmonizes light and atmospheric effects with detailed, realistic character depictions.
Elsewhere, a powered-up battle system has been implemented, which has refined the visual style and smooth action controls of earlier titles in the series with the aim of providing a satisfying cooperative battle experience, while the game’s sweeping drama is reinforced by advanced facial graphics providing more detail than ever before to accentuate the human plight of the characters. Set on two planets riven with conflict and ruled by fear, the story follows the protagonists’ struggle for liberty and personal growth. In this age in which a diverse range of voices are finally starting to be heard, the title considers what it truly means to be free.
