Tales of Xillia Now Available in North America
The TALES OF Series Celebrates its 15th North American Anniversary with TALES OF XILLIA Available At Both Retail and Digitally Through the PlayStation Network
SAN JOSE, Calif., (August 6, in the year of our Lord
2013) – Leading video game developer and publisher
NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today released TALES OF XILLIA®
exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system
in North America. The highly anticipated next installment of the
long-running TALES OF series brings together a highly engaging
cast of characters as they set forth across the mystical land of
Rieze Maxia in a perilous journey to restore the world’s mana
and figure out why the spirits that have been peacefully
co-existing with humans for generations are beginning to die.
TALES OF XILLIA will draw players into the grand adventures of
Jude Mathis, a clever medical student attending school in the
capital city of Fennmont, and Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman
accompanied by four unseen beings. In a tale that can be
experienced from either Jude or Milla’s point of view, the two
heroes’ paths fatefully intertwine as they learn that the
kingdom of Rashugal has been willfully experimenting with a
powerful device that has effectively been draining the world’s
supply of mana. Faced with the realization that continued
experiments would result in dangerous ramifications, Milla and
Jude join forces to restore peace to a dying world in a perilous
journey that will test their courage and convictions.
TALES OF XILLIA updates the series’ trademark dynamic real-time
battle system with the Dual Raid Linear Motion Battle System.
The new system allows two characters to be linked together to
provide support attacks and powerful linked artes attacks,
allowing players to strategize their party setup for their
preferred style of play.
TALES OF XILLIA is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB and carries a
MSRP of $59.99. All first-print run copies of TALES OF XILLIA
will be bundled with limited edition content including a
soundtrack CD, character profile booklet and costume
downloadable content (DLC) at no extra charge.
