Japanese Tales Of Link Teaser Site Appears Online
Tales of Link, the currently Japan exclusive mobile game in the Tales series, launched a teaser website.
Little is known about the game, other than it is coming to iOS and Android devices in Japan, and it will be free-to-play. Siliconera translated some of the text on the site and it reads, "When disaster falls from the heavens to the earth, hope also springs from the ground."

Our Take
Free-to-play always makes me grimace, especially when I consider how it could be implemented in an RPG. Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360 had micro-transactions through Xbox Live that allowed you to purchase money and new levels with Microsoft Points back in 2008, so the studio is certainly familiar with it. I would still like to see the game come to North America.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
