Japanese RPG Game Tales of Crestoria Is Heading To Western Countries

The “Tales of Crestoria”, a fresh Japanese RPG, is setting its ground in Europe and North America on both Android and IOS device the following year. The game was formerly disclosed for Japan in September 2018, with an original storyline told by a new set of characters.

It was confirmed by Bandai Namco that the game will be released in English in the following year. However, a specific release date has not been confirmed yet.

There have not been many clues about the game yet, however, what we do know is that it will feature a turn-based battle system. On December 14, a live stream will reveal to us some clues about the gameplay.

The story, however, takes place in a world full of discord. Everyone here must at all time carry a mysterious "Vision Orb". These orbs observe their every action, and they are the means which are used to monitor criminal violations. The protagonist of the game is Kanata Hjuger, the son of a monk who governs a village. Kanata possesses a firm sense of justice, which drives him to protect the weak and the innocent. One fateful night, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, he and his childhood friend and love interest Misera found themselves branded “Transgressors”, and sentenced to death. Luckily, they were rescued by Vicious, also known as "The Great Transgressor", a criminal demon who is notoriously feared by the world due to his motive, “live however I want.” He offered the duo a choice: To decide their own fate, or let it control them.

Now, the protagonists embark on an adventure as outlaws, and must endure the hardship thrown at them by the world. Throughout the story, they will also meet several notable characters, such as Yuna Azetta, a talented journalist with a bright personality who is working as Vicious’s covert informant, or Aegis Alver, a Knight Commander who has an unwavering trust in the Vision Orb.
