Namco Bandai Games Europe announces TALES OF XILLIA™ on Playstation®3

July 6, 2012

The latest Tales of title makes its way to EMEA and Australasia in 2013

From the Japan Expo event, NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today announced that it will be bringing Tales of Xillia™ brand to EMEA and Australasia exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The latest in the acclaimed Tales of Japanese role-playing game franchise, Tales of Xillia lets players enter the world of Rieze Maxia in a tale of unwavering convictions. Tales of Xillia will be available across EMEA and Australasia in 2013.

“The recent success for last autumn’s release of Tales of the Abyss™ and the anticipated release of Tales of Graces™ f and its exclusive European Edition has helped make localizing Tales of Xillia for the western market one of the easiest decisions we have ever made,” said Olivier Comte, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Publishing for NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. “The latest game in this prolific series gives gamers a brand new world and cast of characters to adventure with along with its celebrated battle system that has yet to be rivaled by other Japanese RPGs.”

Tales of Xillia follows Jude Mathis, a clever medical student attending school in the capital city, and Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman accompanied by four unseen beings. Players will be able to choose either Milla or Jude at the outset of their adventure through the world of Rieze Maxia, where humans and spirits live together in harmony. The kingdom of Rashugal has been experimenting with a powerful device that has been draining the mana from the world. Realizing the harm it is inflicting on the world, Milla and Jude set off on a journey to destroy it and restore the mana back to the world. Over the course of the game their lives will intersect with a vast ensemble of characters that will teach them the strength of unwavering convictions and they are accompanied with the responsibilities it entails.

Players will engage enemies with the critically acclaimed Linear Motion Battle System that the Tales of series is famous for. The system allows for real-time movement and attacks, giving the player a more tactical role in the midst of fights. The battle system in Tales of Xillia has been upgraded to Double Raid Linear Motion Battle System to let two characters combine their attacks to utilize devastating dual-character attack, letting fans strategize the best party setup for their style of play.

Which means it's probably not too too far until they announce it for the U.S.

I'm genuinely surprised. I'm replaying it in Japanese right now, so it was probably because of me that it got announced.
You're welcome.

Its their 15 anniversary title. But 2013 is the 15 anniversary of the series only in the US. Therefore...

Earlier in the stream Baba said it would be out 2013 in EU, so presumably it'll be out in NA next year too.

I should probably replay xillia. Played Milla's side but still need Jude's...

There was this possible directors cut, did that turn into xillia 2? Not sure if I should replay the game.

They also said "if sales are good, there's good chances Tales of Xillia 2 will come to Europe as well."

Glad to see it. I hope it announcing it now doesn't cannibalise Graces sales in Europe though.

No, it's not.

Since Graces F was announced in the west we knew Xillia was coming too.
