Rumour has it that Tales of Zestiria is coming to PlayStation 4 - and it's a murmur that we would truly like to believe. Talk of the latest entry in the Tales Of franchise appearing on Sony's newest console has been rife ever since the PlayStation 3 title was announced, but there's been no official word on a new-gen release whatsoever.
As is often the case, it's fallen to online retailers to potentially leak the role-playing game's current-gen existence. First to do so was Dutch store Nedgame, but sadly, the page in question has since been removed. Perhaps not all hope has been lost, however, as North American retailer Best Buy now lists the title on PS4 as well, and also attaches a 10th October launch date to the product.
So, do we think that Tales of Zestiria is coming to PS4? On one hand, we reckon that the publisher would be crazy not to port the action RPG over to what is currently the best selling machine on the market, but at the same time, we can't possibly accept a single product listing as any sort of concrete evidence - even if such things sometimes point towards an inevitable future reveal. No smoke without fire and all that.
What do you make of all this? Would you like to see Zestiria on PS4, or are you happy with snapping it up on PS3? Cross the generational gap in the comments section below.

The only way I'll get it is if it comes to PS4.
@JesWood13 I think that's the case with a lot of potential buyers. I still think Bandai Namco would be insane to release only on PS3.
I know they said they weren't bringing their games to PS4, but a lot has changed since then, and the market has clearly shifted from PS3 as we see other developers who vowed to not bring their games to PS4 (eh hem... looking at you Gearbox) do exactly that.
I've never seen a Best Buy listing that was wrong, and I've been exclusively buying my games through them for years now (GCU membership- 20% off all new games for 2 years). They are particularly careful about their listings, which is why they always have less available to pre order than places like say, Amazon.
Mark my words, Zesteria is coming to PS4.
I would love to play a tales of game on PS4.
I won't be picking this up if its goes to the PS4 rather than the PS3. I don't own a PS4 and I don't plan on getting the console just to play one game that I'm interested in.
I'm with others here. I'll only buy it on PS4. I still have my PS3 but going back to that is really hard now. The PS4 is just too superior of a machine. Plus it would be dumb for them to not do it. Look at what Atlus did. A company known for releasing games only on aging consoles made the smart move to release Persona 5 on PS4 as well. The PS4 is way too popular to ignore
Will be playing this on PS4, this was my holdout as far as the PS3 goes. Now to clear my backlog in the meantime. I wonder if they will rebuild the engine soon.
They have to,
I need it, especially on my PS4.
This would be great news, though it'd mean I'd have to wait longer to play it.
@JaxonH
The market in the Western territories has shifted to the current-gen, however, the Japanese are still stuck on the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this rumor doesn't come to fruition though I hope it does because that's the only way I'm going to play this game. I've tried a couple times going back to PS3, and I just can't do it.
Suppose I'll probably get a nice discount by getting the "inferior" PS3 version then. Or just not get it if it moves to PS4-exclusive for some reason.
Persona and Tales are the main reason I own a PS4 so this is great news for me if its true! I was willing to patiently wait a couple more years before a tales game was made for PS4, so even if it's not true I know it'll inevitable happen.
Worth noting that BestBuy removed the PS4 version from their site.
