Sporting a brand-new aesthetic, revamped combat mechanics, and a bevy of small improvements Tales of Arise is Bandai’s attempt at bringing the series into the modern era. Tales of Arise is the latest entry in the long-running Tales series of games from Bandai Namco, and Arise looks to be the biggest formula change for the franchise in many years.
