2021 is being a magnificent year for all RPG fans thanks to releases such as Scarlet Nexus or NEO: The World Ends With You , among others. They will be joined next month by the long-awaited Tales of Arise , about which new details have come to light thanks to a broadcast that has been carried out on YouTube , and completely in Japanese, the official channel of the franchise.

The producer of this new installment, Yusuke Tomizawa, has participated in it to make it known that the team’s intention is for the history of the game to begin and end there. This means that there is no intention to publish downloadable content that expands the story and neither prequels nor sequels will be released in the future, as happened for example with Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Xillia .

Likewise, Tales of Arise will not be connected to other titles in the series, although it is not ruled out that there will be content from him in other games in the form of a crossover . In any case, it will not be anything that affects the plot, so it will not be anything especially relevant that is worth doing with it.

On the other hand, something that we already discussed in our first impressions and that has been dropped in this broadcast is the fact that during the adventure we will be able to cook, camp and fish for fish in order to prepare the most delicious dishes that will provide additional advantages to our group of characters.

Finally, Tomizawa has indicated that the duration of Tales of Arise will be similar to that of Tales of Berseria , that is, about 40 hours. Of course, for all this we will have to wait until September 9 , the day it will arrive on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S and PC, although it is also planned that a demo will be enabled soon for the entire world.
