Tales of Zestiria Announced: “2015” “PS3” “…”

The latest Tales “mothership” title has been unveiled in the form of Tales of Zestiria, apparently due in 2015 as the 20th anniversary “Tales” title – and for the PS3 of course…

Whether the “20th anniversary” title can manage a release before 2015 (the series originator Tales of Phantasia was released in 1995) is not yet clear, but enthusiasm for the announcement seems already to have been tempered by disappointment at having to wait for a presumed “complete edition” for the PS4 in order to get graphics which are any better than those available by its 10th anniversary.

At the current rate of one mothership title every 2-3 years, this may well mean the first PS4 Tales title will be ready by 2018 – in time for the franchise’s 25th anniversary at least, and still better going than certain other popular RPG franchises of late.
