Thank you for your continued support in creating Tales of Crestoria. We are sure that many of you are very excited about the launch, so we have new news about the release date.
We are currently in the final stages of development for both the Japanese and English versions, and we plan to launch as soon as possible. We hope they can wait a little longer until the final preparations are ready for the release to be approved.
Additionally, with the goal of synchronizing the start of the service worldwide, we plan to allow the game to be installed before said online service begins. We will be maintaining the application until that date, so we hope you are eager to receive this information.
Last time, the number of pre-registrations exceeded one million worldwide. We thank you all for this. "
Furthermore, the game was scheduled to be released in the first half of June, however producer Tomomi Tagawa mentioned that the developers "are making final adjustments and fixing some problems detected during beta testing." Because of this, the process took longer than anticipated, and developers will require more time before launching the game. The new release date will be announced as soon as it is decided.
In fact, the game was scheduled to be released in Japanese and English last year, but Bandai Namco Entertainment announced in October 2019 that the launch would be delayed. As part of this delay, Tales of Crestoria will feature voice acting for the main story, as well as cinematics presented through illustrations and "various other additions."
About Tales of Crestoria
The game will be free with some purchases available in an internal store. Pre-registration to participate in the beta test of the game was available in Japan, and all players will receive rewards depending on the number of registrations made. The story of the game is described as follows:
In the world of Kanata, all citizens use "orbs of truth", which allow them to be condemned by popular vote if they commit any crime. Kanata is the only son of the respected village leader who runs an orphanage, and has strong ties to Misella, a girl in her care.
One fateful night, tragedy falls on Misella, and Kanata commits a great sin to save her. In desperation to prevent Kanata from committing the taboo, Misella is also categorized as a sinner. Now, being both persecuted you must choose between possessing your sin or letting your sin possess you.
