Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launches January 11, will have a special edition

Back at E3 2018 in June, Bandai Namco unveiled Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition. The RPG has finally secured a release date.

Bandai Namco confirmed today that Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition launches January 11. A special edition is in the works, which we have a glimpse at above.

Here’s the full announcement:

After overwhelming fan demand, Bandai Namco Entertainment is pleased to announce that Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition will be available for the first time in Europe on January 11th, 2019 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition includes up-scaled screen resolution, characters, events, and costumes that were never released outside of Japan, as well as introducing two new playable party members. Flynn Scifo, the main character’s best friend and rival, and Patty Fleur, a young pirate searching for her lost memories.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition uses a specialised iteration of the ‘Tales of’ series’ Linear Motion Battle System for combat. Players control a single party member in real-time combat while other party members are controlled by a customised set of A.I. commands. Players can swap between any of the four characters at any time during battles and can perform physical attacks, Magic Artes or even powerful Mystic Artes.
