Tales 20th Anniversary Anime Based On Zesteria Announced
Alongside yesterday's announcement for Tales of Berseria, Bandai Namco has also announced a new Tales of anime.
You can check out a teaser trailer below for the anime which is being handled by Ufotable. Ufotable has handled the anime scenes for the Tales games since the first Tales of Xilia, which released in Japan in 2011.
Based on the trailer and website, the anime seems to focus on Tales of Zestiria, which is planned for release in North America some time this year. Not many other details are known.
This is not the first anime to be based on a Tales game. Tales of Eternia, Phantasia, Symphonia, the Abyss, and Vesperia all saw animated adaptations.

Our Take
I'm frankly surprised that every Tales games doesn't receive an anime adaptation, considering how popular the series is in Japan.
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.
