Tales of Arise Gets an Unexpected Expansion Two Years Later

Here's one that wasn't on the bingo card: Tales of Arise, Bandai Namco's 2021 RPG hit, is getting an unexpected expansion two years after the game first came out.


Announced at today's State of Play, we got a look at the expansion, which will include what seems like a pretty hefty chunk of new content. It is set after the original game and features the return of the original game's cast as well.

Tales of Arise was the winner of our award for the best RPG of 2021, with our review praising its "beautifully realized world" and "story that isn't afraid to tackle heavy subjects." Here's hoping the DLC can live up to the praise the base game garnered at the time.

The new expansion will be out November 9. You can read our full recap of everything shown at PlayStation's State of Play for September right here.
