Tales Of The Rays Shutdown Showcases Tales Of Innocence Cast Artwork

Following the announcement that the free-to-play mobile game Tales of the Rays will be shut down on July 23, 2024, Bandai Namco shared a new illustration featuring all 222 characters.

Now, the developer is sharing focused images of each title’s cast from that massive illustration. The tenth one depicts the cast of the ninth mainline game, Tales of Innocence.

This entry was initially released for the DS in 2007 before seeing a Vita remake five years later. No version of this title has ever been localized. The combat system was a melding of Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Destiny Director’s Cut, enabling mid-air skill usage and full 3D movement.

The Vita remake, Tales of Innocence R, added two new major characters, though they don’t interfere with the events of the main story significantly.

Sadly, many Tales of games, including Tales of Xillia 2, were recently delisted from PSN. Bandai Namco has not communicated regarding these delistings, prompting increasing concern over preservation for this franchise, which hasn’t been great for a long while. So, hopefully, Bandai Namco will soon announce re-releases for all of those delisted titles and plenty of neglected older ones.

With Tales of the Rays incoming shutdown, no mobile entries remain, making the franchise’s status increasingly worrying.

Bandai Namco has announced that the latest entry of the Tales of franchise, Tales of Arise, has sold over three million units worldwide.
