Tales of ARISE, the latest entry to the Tales Of franchise, is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, XBox Series S/X on September 9, 2021, and to PC, the following day on September 10, 2021 for everyone in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Tales of ARISE is the latest in a series that started 25 years ago. Those who buy the game on PlayStation 4 also get the upgraded PlayStation 5 version as a free upgrade.
Players will be immersed in the story of Rena, the star that has been ruling the Dahna planet with an iron fist for the past 300 years. Renans have been depleting Dahna of its natural resources, enslaving most of the planet’s population in order to do so. This tale follows the fight to free Dahnans of their fate and will be experienced through the eyes of Alphen, an iron-masked Dahnan fighting to free his people, and Shionne, a girl from Rena, who’s on the run from her countrymen. They will be joined through their journey by various characters, such as Rinwell and Law, that will help them in their fight for freedom.
