Tales of Zestiria – Announcement Trailer

Namco’s Tales studio has recently announced the name of its next venture in the Tales of.. series. Tales of Zestiria.

Set in a world of Dragons on the continent of Greenwood, the game takes place during a war between the Highland Kingdom and the Lawrence Empire. The term Zestiria focuses on the word Zest, which mean “Passion” or “Zeal” and by the looks of things is what the main character seem to showcase.

The story of this new world consists of and revolves around Dragons, the classical colossus of traditonal JRPG roots. The game also seems to be boasting a new battle and field system, which may intertwine if the trailer shows any hints. If the battle and field system, which also looks much bigger now, does in fact mix together, which will be a first for the Tales series. Another big boon for fans is that the Anime cutscenes that feature in Tales games are now being produced by Hikaru Kondo, producer of Japanese animation studio Ufotable, who worked on the Tales of Symphonia OVAs. If these guys are involved, then the animated custscenes will truly be something to behold.

No set date is available just yet, but enjoy the trailer.
