Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition Announced
LOS ANGELES, Calif., (June 10, in the year of our
Lord 2018) – Leading videogame and interactive
entertainment developer and publisher, BANDAI NAMCO
Entertainment America Inc., today announced TALES OF VESPERIA™:
Definitive Edition for the Xbox One® video game system,
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Nintendo Switch®,
and PC via STEAM®. TALES OF VESPERIA: Definitive Edition
includes upscaled screen resolution, new characters, events, and
additional content never released outside of Japan. This updated
version of the RPG classic will be released this Christmas.
Follow Yuri Lowell, a resident in the Lower Quarter of Zaphias
and former Imperial Knight, as he accepts a mission to retrieve
a stolen Blastia Core used to regulate his neighborhood’s water
supply. This simple mission spins into a series of events that
finds Yuri befriending a colorful cast of characters, traveling
to exotic locations, and being pushed into the middle of a
nefarious plot that threatens the destruction of the entire
planet.
TALES OF VESPERIA: Definitive Edition features two new fully
playable party members for North America; Patty Fleur, a young
pirate searching for her lost memories, as well as Yuri’s rival
and best friend, Flynn Scifo. Along with these two new playable
characters, TALES OF VESPERIA: Definitive Edition will include
additional scenarios, locations, and costumes that will be
all-new for Western players.
TALES OF VESPERIA: Definitive Edition uses a specialized version
of the TALES OF series’ Linear Motion Battle System for combat.
Players control a single party member in real-time combat while
the other three party members are controlled by a customized set
of A.I. commands. Players can swap between the four characters
at any time during battles and can perform both physical and
Mystic Artes attacks.
“TALES OF VESPERIA holds a special place in the hearts of many
TALES OF fans around the world,” said Abelina Villegas,
Associate Brand Manager for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America
Inc. “The Japanese version of the game, with additional content
not seen in the original North American version, will surely
delight fans. We are excited to bring TALES OF VESPERIA:
Definitive Edition to TALES OF fans outside of Japan, and
whether players choose to play on PC or consoles, they will have
more content to explore and enjoy.”
TALES OF VESPERIA: Definitive Edition will be available for the
Xbox One, PlayStation 4 system, Nintendo Switch, and PC via
STEAM this Christmas.
