Tales of Arise Hootle and Collector’s Edition: Plush or Steelbook?

Tales of Arise is the next entry in Bandai Namco’s long running Tales of series. The game hits shelves this September 10th 2021 for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and as PC download.

The tale begins with two people, Alphen and Shionne, born on different worlds, each looking to change their fate and create a new future. Featuring a diverse cast of characters, intuitive and rewarding combat system, and a captivating story set in a lush world worth fighting for, Tales of Arise delivers a first-class JRPG experience.
