Tales of Remaster Announcement

Tales of fans could be in for a treat this week, as it becomes more and more likely that the series' next big announcement is imminent.

Earlier in the month, the official Tales of social media accounts teased that a new remaster would be revealed at some point this summer. Then, just this week, publisher Bandai Namco confirmed a summer showcase — which is set for tomorrow (the 2nd July) at the time of writing.

It obviously doesn't take a genius to line these two things up, but there is an additional piece of potential evidence to consider. Those aforementioned social media accounts have also been counting down to something over the last month or so, posting about the Tales of games in chronological order.

And guess what? That countdown ended yesterday, having arrived at the series' most recent releases.

"We thank you as we journey toward our 30th year…" the post concludes.

So, without wanting to guarantee that the next remaster will indeed be present at Bandai Namco's show, we think it's looking pretty darn likely.

The real question, though, is which old game is actually being remastered? We've seen a lot of shouts for Tales of Xillia and its direct sequel, Tales of Xillia 2, as the duology remains locked to the PS3. Tales of the Abyss is bit of a fan favourite, too.

Will you be watching Bandai Namco's showcase? Which Tales of game do you most want to see get the remaster treatment? At least try to keep your expectations in check in the comments section below.
