Following on from the Android/iOS game Tales of the World: Tactics Union, the Tales of... team has now turned its attention towards the 3DS with the tongue-twisting Reve Unitia.
Details are scarce as the announcement's only just been made in this week's Jump magazine, but from what has been shown it will be another crossover spin-off game featuring popular characters like Asbel Lhant (Tales of Graces), Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia), Yuri Lowell (Tales of Vesperia), Jade Curtis (Tales of the Abyss), Meredy (Tales of Eternia), and Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear (Tales of the Abyss) in a strategy RPG setting.
The screenshots below are all from Tactics Union, but they should give some idea of what to expect from the date-not-yet-announced 3DS release.
Are you a Tales fan? Are you itching to get your preorder in for a Tales strategy RPG? Let us know in the comments section below.

If it ends up being like Fire Emblem awakening gameplay wise, then i'll buy it. Not played either series but any game which plays like awakening is good in my books
Strategy game? Pass. Let me know when Namco releases a full Tales game on the Wii U. Still sour about Tales of Symphonia HD.
You had me sold at Lloyd
I'm not hopeful of ever seeing this Look at the huge number of Tales games on DS, PSP and Vita that never came over.
Since this is a spin off the chances of this leaving Japan is pretty slim.
@allav866 Rather this be for the 3DS and Tales of Zestiria be for the Wii U
@bouncer0304 Two completely different gameplay styles. The Tales of series is a traditional jRPG.
YOU had me at Tales and 3DS. Oh my YES Jade is in. Will fully by a Japanese 3DS if this doesn't get ported.
I might buy this game simply because Reve is in the name.
Tales of the World? Considering the "quality" of the previous entries and the fandom-level excuse plots for throwing characters from different stories together...
We really need SRPGs for consoles other than Nippon Ichi's, so yeah, bring it on! I hope it can make it to the West, even though I highly doubt it.
This is another giant company that needs to wake up and smell the coffee. The majority of these Tales titles are Japan-only but JRPGs are selling far more worldwide. As always, if they can't provide the money for that special edition packaging they may as well make Reve Unitia an eShop exclusive.
@Peach64
That's actually a good point. There ARE quite a few Tales games that stay in Japan...
every time namco/bandai do any crossover it's just so lame...
I just got Abyss for the 3DS and I'll also get this if its localized. That's a big if but who knows. Abyss sold well according to Baba so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
HOLY DEMON FANG!!
Lloyd Irving? Guy Cecil? Jade Curtiss? Flynn Scifo? Judith? Yuri Lowell?
Namco you better not wrap up all my favorite characters into one game and tell me it's Japan-only.
@Peach64 Couldn't you import Innocence R? I mean there's no lock on the Vita right? Unless you specifically want it in English.
I really wish they were more serious about bringing these games over to the U.S. . ..... (..sigh)
Want
Looks awesum
I don't care. It's most likely not coming over here for one, and even if it does, I didn't really like the Tales of the World game I played on the PSP.
Hopefully it comes over, even if it's not too likely.
Nothing like a Tales game to divide opinion...
aaaaaahhhhhhh i hope this comes to america because it looks absolutely amazing!!!! God if only Wii U would get Suikoden VI it would be the bewt year of gaming ever:)
I like it! ^^
But, I'm not good for Strategy RPG's... (sigh)
i dont care if its tactics, i will buy it and it will be my 4th tales game on a nintendo console if it gets a north american release, right now i have 3, symphonia 1+2 (gcn and wii respectively) and abyss 3d. nintendo needs more variations of rpg's, especially wii u
Will it be localise? I hope so.
I'll be hopeful for a localization. I love 3 of the Tales games I've played so my fandom level is just high enough for a crossover. I'm sad about not getting Tales of Symphony HD on Wii U and even sadder about not getting Tales of Heart R period, so hopefully Namco won't make me sad yet again.
I want it I want it I want it!
"Drools"
Please bring this to USA I love the tales of searis and got pisst off when tales of hero's twin brave didn't come. I would do all most any thing to get it
