Tales of Vesperia Dated

Xbox 360

Atari announced today that the latest in the acclaimed Tales RPG franchise, Tales of Vesperia, will hit Australian Xbox 360s in June 2009.

The world of Terca Lumireis is in transition. Ten years of peace have led to an uneasy truce between the Empire and guilds, which desire to live by their own rules. Controlling the ancient technology known as "blastia", the Empire has provided safety and prosperity to its citizens, but the people have grown uneasy with the heavy hand of their government. As former Imperial Knight Yuri Lowell, players will explore the complex relationship between blastia, the government and its people, setting foot outside the safe confines of the cities to explore a mysterious and dangerous world.

The first next generation instalment of the series brings the classic real-time battle system to the Xbox, with deep battle strategies and the ability to chain attacks to create combos on the fly. New to this game are battle features like Fatal Strikes, Burst Artes and a multi-stage Over Limit, while series traditions like cooking and skits return with a few new twists to please longtime fans.
