Tales of Xillia Remastered confirmed by Bandai Namco

Last year after the official announcement for Tales of Graces F Remastered, a leak claimed that the former PS3 exclusive, Tales of Xillia, would be next. Now, it appears that an official announcement is imminent. 

Tales of Xillia was a late-cycle exclusive for the PlayStation 3. Since then, Bandai Namco has improved its release situation, doing away with staggered Japan, EU and US launches, and ensuring multiplatform availability. Tales of Vesperia Remastered for instance, was announced during an Xbox E3 showcase, and released across Xbox, PC, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. The most recent mainline game in the series, Tales of Arise, was also a multiplatform release with day-one availability globally.

Fans eager to return to Tales of Xillia were quick to spot an update to the Bandai Namco Europe website, which teased an announcement coming on the 18th of August. The thumbnail for the video showed characters from Tales of Xillia, confirming that an official remaster announcement is on the way.

Interestingly, the announcement will be coming the day before Geoff Keighley's Gamescom: Opening Night Live stream, leading fans to wonder if we'll see two ‘Tales Of' games announced this year.

KitGuru Says: Tales of Xillia is one of the few games in the series to have a direct sequel, so it will be interesting to see if we get remasters for both.
