The Tales Of Series (i.e. Tales of Berseria, Tales of the Abyss, etc) will celebrate its 25th anniversary this December. In the meantime, the team at Bandai Namco can’t wait to give fans of the franchise a taste of the festivities to come. In addition to releasing 25 pieces of illustrations from Tales Of released over the years, Bandai Namco announced upcoming merchandise and events coming soon. Check out some of the artwork below:

For the time being, pop-up events and shopping experiences are only available across Japan. According to our friends over at DualShockers, Bandai Namco and team will be selling Tales Of merchandise in Dash Stores and Animate shops including Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, and others. The first half of the shopping and celebration event will take place from November 14th to November 26th and again from December 12th to January 3rd.

Aside from the delayed Tales of Arise game, rumor has it that Bandai Namco and company are currently working on a new Tales Of game. Not much has been confirmed since news of trademarks and licensing information were revealed in Europe, but here’s to hoping there will be good news in December or forthcoming in 2021.
