News: Bandai Namco has revealed that the newest “Tales of” game will indeed be coming to both the PS4 and PC, in addition to the PS3.

Bandai Namco revealed earlier today that Tales of Zestiria is coming to the PS4 and PC, in addition to the previously announced PS3 version. An unseen evil force known as Malevolence is spreading across the land, corrupting the world and causing humanity to falter. Players will embark on an epic journey as Sorey, a young pure-hearted adventurer whose destiny is to become The Shepard, an individual of great power that can banish Malevolence. Does Sorey have the courage and heart to wield this extraordinary responsibility for good, or will he fall prey to the evils of its power?

Tales of Zestiria introduces a new version of its celebrated real-time battle system, allowing for faster combat with side dashes and new fusion technique combo opportunities. Throughout his quest, Sorey will befriend humans and spirits known as Seraphim, unseen to most humans, to aide him on his journey. Because of Sorey’s unique ability to communicate with the Seraphim he is able to fuse with their essence to create new elemental artes for strategic attacks to decimate foes.

“The TALES OF series continues connect with RPG fans searching for a pure Japanese role-playing experience,” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With the high adoption rate of the current generation of consoles and continued popularity of the PC platform, we are more than excited to be able to adapt TALES OF ZESTIRIA to the PlayStation 4 system and STEAM exclusively for Western fans across the Americas and Europe.”

Tales of Zestiria will be available on PS4, PS3 and PC beginning on October 20, 2015 across the Americas and October 23, 2015 in Brazil. Will you be picking up this new entry in the “Tales of” series? If so, which version will you get?
