After filing a trademark for "Beyond the Dawn" back in late 2022, we now know what Bandai Namco's next step is for the Tales franchise. Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn is a new DLC, which takes place after the main story and features the return of the game's party members. It'll be released later this year, on November 9th.

Ooh, Tales of Arise DLC? Awesome; I quite liked that game - it's the only Tales of game that I've ever finished, so I'll most likely be interested in this.

This was a nice surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed the game back then and 100%'d it. Since it's been a while, I need to replay this game and de-rust myself.

The trailer did use footage of the already-existing specials; not sure what that's about, they're not new (maybe because they 'look cool'?).

My main two issues with the base game are that they never really explained why you'd want to level-up Artes - do they get stronger or something? Other than that, there's how Rinwell (and her owl) keeps assaulting Law, often for very little reason; that's portrayed as supposedly 'humorous', but...um, no? How's it funny for a girl to attack a boy, when vice-versa would be massively controversial?
That's one aspect of Japanese games I'm really tired of; from what I can tell, it's not nearly as prevalent in Western games.

Anyway, I do hope they work on these two issues in the DLC, or something.

I forgot to finish this game, oh well.

Not the best tales of but entertaining nonetheless.

For me it was one of the worse tales of games .... completed it a while ago after buying it in a sale but wasn't like super happy with it.
But not as bad as I thought after playing the demo, still wouldn't buy a dlc

Neat! I still need to finish the main game though. I was on the final part of the game, the last time I've played it.
