Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition isn't the only game in the series in the works, Bandai Namco recently confirmed.

During this year's edition of the Tales of Festival, it's been confirmed that a brand new entry in the series is currently in development for home hardware. Nothing has been shown, so we don't know if the next game will be set in the Tales of Zestiria / Berseria world or a new universe.

Like already mentioned, the next entry in the series to release this year is Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. The game will come with all the additional content found in the PlayStation 3 release of the game, which has only been released in Japan, such as two new playable characters, Flynn and Patty, new bosses, new story content, new dungeons and more. Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition launches this Winter on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition includes upscaled screen resolution, new characters, events, and costumes never released outside of Japan. This updated version of an RPG classic will be released this winter.

Follow Yuri Lowell, a resident in the Lower Quarter of Zaphias and former Imperial Knight, as he accepts a mission to retrieve a stolen Blastia Core used to regulate his neighborhood’s water supply. This simple mission spins into a series of events that finds Yuri befriending a colorful cast of characters, traveling to exotic locations, and being pushed into the middle of a nefarious plot that threatens the destruction of the entire planet.

Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition uses a specialized version of the Tales of series’ Linear Motion Battle System for combat. Players control a single party member in real-time combat while the other three party members are controlled by a customized set of A.I. commands. Players can swap between the four characters at any time during battles and can perform both physical and Mystic Artes attacks.
