New Tales Game is Tales of Xillia 2

June 2, 2012

So after all that anticipation and hype, Namco unveiled today at the Tales of Festival that the next instalment in the main series of Tales games is in fact a direct sequel to Tales of Xillia, aptly titled Tales of Xillia 2 which will also be exclusive to PS3.

Now this is rather unexpected, especially considering the fact that the game features a drastically different setting to the previous game, was said to mark a new chapter in the Tales Of Universe and that this is only the second time there has ever been a direct sequel in the Tales series long history (direct sequels are not commonplace in the franchise).

Tales Of Xillia 2 is said to take place 1 year after the previous game and will revolve around the question of ‘Would you destroy the world for a girl?’ This is incredibly confusing because the setting has drastically changed in 1 year and the entire theme of destroying the world for a girl is a little strange in the context of Tales Of Xillia. Regardless, it is a Tales game and fans are bound to be excited.

What do you think of Namco announcing the next Tales game to be Tales Of Xillia 2? Let us know in the comments section below.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch trailer and release date confirmation

Jahanzeb Khan

June 2, 2012

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is the localisation of what is easily the most ambitious and demanded Japanese import in recent memory. The game was released for both the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo DS in Japan, but Western audiences will only be getting a localised version of the PlayStation 3 version.

The release date has been set in stone, as the game will arrive in North America on 22 January 2013 and 25 January 2013 in Europe. The newly released trailer shows off some of the localisation work, and it sounds quite good. While the localisation took a long time to happen, it should be worth the wait when we finally get to play this beautifully produced role playing game next year.

17 minutes of Tokyo Jungle

Jahanzeb Khan

June 2, 2012

This year has been quite strange for Sony and the PlayStation brand so far, but perhaps the strangest so far is this upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive called Tokyo Jungle. This is a release that is at this stage, exclusive to Japan, and rightfully so.

What is Tokyo Jungle? well it’s about the animal kingdom (and dinosaurs apparently) occupying the city of Tokyo in what looks like a very peculiar simulation role playing game. I am not sure what to make of this game, even after watching this newly released 17 minute gameplay footage. It’s unusually disturbing to say the least, you have been warned.

Tokyo Jungle is set for a release in Japan very soon, and quite frankly I hope it stays in Japan. Someone has to think of the children!
