New Screenshots of Tales of Berseria Revealed

After being announced for a western release last year, we now have more information on Tales of Berseria, complete with a slew of new screenshots. The RPG will be a whole new adventure, feature the Tales series' first solo heroin Velvet. Details, including the aforementioned screenshots, were posted on Bandai Namco's official Tales blog.

New details on the game’s backstory have also been unveiled. Learn of the exorcists, holy warriors who can fight against daemons thanks to Malaks’ power, and the Abbey, an organisation that aims to maintain the world’s order. Taking part in this world are two new characters: Rokurou, a daemon swordsman wielding dual blades, and Eleanor, a lady exorcist in constant conflict with Velvet.

The battle system has not been left behind and has undergone significant new changes to give players the best of the famous ‘Tales Of’ gameplay mechanics, but with a modern twist. The Liberation-LMBS (Linear Motion Battle System) keeps evolving by pursuing greater flexibility of control and greater freedom of Artes Combos. Lastly, a new system for SG (Soul Gauge) comes in and implements the concept of “stealing” souls from enemies.
