Next Tales game is a “mothership” title
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
According to Famitsu, the next “Tales of” game from Namco Bandai is a “mothership” title. This means it’ll be a core entry rather than a spinoff or remake. There’s some speculation that it could be a sequel to Tales of Xillia.
If I had to guess, I’d say the new Tales title will arrive on the PlayStation 3. Maybe a Wii U version will be possible as well?
In any case, Namco Bandai will unveil the new game on June 2 at the Tales of Festival.
