I’m a little behind on the news, but I had to say something! The latest Tales game, Tales of Arise, is getting a DLC expansion/sequel called Tales of Arise – Beyond the Dawn, set to be released worldwide Nov. 9. It adds 20+ hours of content, including new sidequests, dungeons, and bosses, as well as new skits and cutscenes featuring the six original members: Alphen, Shionne, Law, Rinwell, Kisara, and Dohalim.
The story takes place one year after the end of Tales of Arise. A chance encounter puts our heroes in charge of a girl named Nazamil, the daughter of a Renan Lord and a Dahnan. Because of her heritage, she’s seen as an “abomination” by both Dahnans and Renans, and her life is threatened. Alphen and the gang decide to protect her, putting them at odds with both sides. Can they save this girl and the peaceful, equal world they risked their lives to create?
Speaking as someone who’s played the base game, I think this sounds like an excellent way to explore the consequences and implications of the party’s actions. I can’t wait to see how they handle things!
If you haven’t played Tales of Arise yet, grab a copy now! You’ll need it to play Beyond the Dawn as well. Or you can get the new edition that features both the base game and the DLC.
