Bandai Namco recently announced the Japanese release date for Tales of Zestiria in the latest edition of Jump Magazine. The game will be coming out in Japan for the PS3 on January 22, 2015. Release dates for other territories have yet to have been announced.
The magazine has also revealed a new character as well: Rose. Designed by Kousuke Fujishima, the magazine claims she is “a cheerful and lively girl, who sets the mood of the group.” She is also said to wield dual blades and is able to see those from the Heavenly Tribe.
It was also revealed that pre-orders of the game in Japan will come with one of four randomly selected “premium rubber straps,” which will feature one of the four main characters: Sorey, Alisha, Mikelo, or Edna. Pre-orders will also come with codes for exclusive downloadable secret arts for Alisha, Mikelo, and Lailah.
