Last year's E3 brought with it the announcement of Tales of Arise, billed as the "next evolution" of the long-running RPG series. It was originally set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime this year, but its ambitious nature has forced it to be delayed beyond the 2020 launch window.
To "create the best Tales of experience possible," the decision was made to put more time into the game's development. A new launch window will be announced when the team is ready.
Here's a message from producer Yusuke Tomizawa:
For everyone who has been patiently waiting for “Tales of Arise”
As you may have already seen in media stories and on our social media channels, we have made the decision to delay the launch timing of “Tales of Arise”, the latest title in the “Tales of” series.
The goal for Tales of Arise is to provide a familiar but innovative gameplay experience to fans of the series, while pushing the technical envelope to deliver a high level of graphical quality to impress both long-time players and those who have never played a Tales of game. Development on the title has move steadily forward in 2020 as we overcame challenges along the way.
While COVID-19 has affected some aspects of development, we’ve done our best to adapt to the situation and have implemented remote development capabilities for our team.
However, to achieve the quality and provide the gorgeous experience we envision for our players, we will need more time to realize that vision and therefore we decided to delay the launch timing for Tales of Arise.
A new launch window update will be provided once we have more details to share.
In the meantime, the determination of our development team has not weakened. It is always darkest before the dawn, as illustrated in the image below. We hope you will join us as a bring a new Tales of adventure to light.
