An online retailer has preemptively listed a remastered version of Bandai Namco Games’ action role-playing game, Tales of Xillia for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch.
The retailer in question is Czech Republic-based JRC, and it has posted a new listing for Tales of Xillia Remastered . A release date or window has not been mentioned in the accompanied details. The game’s price has also not been revealed as of writing, though given how Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition was priced at $49.99, this is expected to be similar.
Going by the tentative box art, the listing does appear to be legitimate. An official announcement from Bandai Namco Games is likely to happen sometime soon.
For the uninitiated, Tales of Xillia is an action role-playing game that was originally released exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It is the thirteenth main entry in the Tales series, developed by Namco Tales Studio and published by Namco Bandai Games. The game launched in Japan on September 7, 2011, and was localized for North America and the PAL region in August, 2013. Set in the fictional world of Rieze Maxia, where humans and spirits coexist, the story follows Jude Mathis and Milla Maxwell as they evade government officials after destroying a weapon of mass destruction called the Lance of Kresnik.
The game takes place on the field map or in the battle area. The field map is a 3D environment where the player character can explore, interact with non-player characters, items, or enemy avatars. Character interactions within the party can be viewed through animated and voiced skits. Contact with an enemy avatar transitions the game to the battle screen, a 3D area where the player commands characters in combat against CPU-controlled enemies. Battles occur in real-time, and players can move, dash, and perform standard attacks. They can also use artes, which are special attacks that consume Technical Points, Tales of Xillia’s equivalent of magic points.
