With Tales of Arise, the saga published by Bandai Namco has propelled itself to the front of the stage. This opus has managed to find its audience even in Western markets and sales are quite logically huge!
Announced during E3 2019 at the Xbox conference, Tales of Arise had a hard time launching on our consoles and PC. Indeed, pandemic requires, the title of Bandai Namco has been postponed several times.
