Bandai Namco has announced that they plan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Tales of series with a live broadcast. This broadcast will air on a date TBD, and it will feature producers from the Tales of games to talk about experiences while developing the games, as well as addressing fans’ surveys and questions. The survey for this event can be found here.

It is unclear at this time exactly what announcements will be made regarding upcoming or current Tales of games, but Gematsu reports that the newest information on mobile games, events, and anniversary goods will be shared. It’s possible that Tales of games for the Switch will be discussed, but it is not guaranteed.

Make sure to check back for updates on this Tales of 25th anniversary live stream, as the date should be revealed soon.

It seems that Japan is getting another exclusive edition of Monster Hunter Rise for the Switch. This special game package, which roughly translates to “Hunting friend double pack,” features two copies of the game (one digital and one physical) as well as some downloadable content. All of this comes in a sleek box for 15,254 yen or around $145. 

It seems the extra content has raised the price, as this double pack is $25 more than what two versions of the game would cost. Roughly translated, what this digital content includes is:

• Recovery medicine Great x 80
• Sweetbread trap x 10,
• Demon dust x 20
• Hardened dust x 20
• Life dust x 20
• Armor ball x 30
• “Item pack” useful for cooperative play and hunting

Whether or not this is worth it is up to Japanese consumers, as it seems unlikely that this edition will come to the West. It’s specifically marketed towards Switch owners who want to play the game with a friend, so it’s possible that the online play is pretty extensive in the game. 

We’ll just have to see when Monster Hunter Rise launches on March 26, 2021.

Update: The following information comes from a press release on 4Gamer, translated by 黒凧 BlackKite (@bk2128) on Twitter. The mystery game in Koei Tecmo’s lineup appears to be from the Midas brand, who are known for their mobile games.

So, it means it is a good chance that the mystery announcement will be a mobile game.

First spotted by Gematsu, Square Enix has filed a trademark for the 1994 Super Famicom game Live A Live on July 2, 2020. Live A Live is a time-traveling RPG that was directed by Takashi Tokita, the man who would go on to direct Chrono Trigger.

This trademark has been filed for the Australian region code but it is interesting to note that the listed language for the game is English, as the original never saw a Western release and only had Japanese language options. The game has been rereleased a few times, on the Wii U in 2015 and the 3DS in 2016, but never with any new language options.

Now, perhaps, there could be hope of an official English version of Live A Live coming soon. However, a trademark does not confirm a game is on the way and there is no way of knowing if this will bring anything new for the series. Hopefully, Square Enix will share its intentions with this trademark soon.
