Opening Hour: Tales of Arise (Xbox Series X)
0It's finally time for a new Tales of game! I've been looking forward to this for years, the only problem is that it's releasing at such a busy time. Between this, Life is Strange, and Deathloop next week there's just too much to play. I'll always make time for Tales though. This is the Series X version with framerate prioritized over graphics. Interestingly the game came with 2 separate executables for the Xbox One and Series versions. This game is a bit dark off the jump, which I think is fantastic. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the main cast. Playing the demo a few weeks ago really got my hyped about the full party combat.
Tales of Arise is described on Steam as follows: "300 years of tyranny. A mysterious mask. Lost pain and memories. Wield the Blazing Sword and join a mysterious, untouchable girl to fight your oppressors. Experience a tale of liberation, featuring characters with next-gen graphical expressiveness!"
Gameplay was recorded on an Xbox Series X using an Elgato HD60S capture card.
Tales of Arise is available on: Steam, Xbox One, Xbox One S|X, PS4 and PS5. It's developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
