At Jump Festa this weekend, Namco Bandai held a small conference to discuss the Tales series. Unfortunately, no new games or a Tales of Vesperia localization were announced. However, the Tales publisher did make two noteworthy new announcements.
First off, next year’s ‘Tales of Festival’ will be held on June 5th and 6th at the Pacifico Yokohama Convention Center. If anything, we’ll get a new Tales game announcement there.
Next up, new costumes are coming to Tales of Vesperia for PlayStation 3. What a surprise! The new costumes are a part of the “Namco Compilation Narikiri Costumes”. They’ll highlight Vesperia‘s characters in clothes representing characters from Nacmo games. You’ll recognize Karol as Klonoa, Estelle as Valkyrie, Yuri as Heishiro Mitsurugi form Soul Calibur, Flynn as Frederic Chopin from Eternal Sonata, Rita in an Idolm@ster costume, Judith as KOS-MOS from Xenosaga and Raven as Heihachi from Tekken. This should hit January 14, 2010.
