Tales Of The Rays Shutdown Showcases Tales Of Rebirth 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 sixth one depicts the cast of the sixth mainline Tales of game, Tales of Rebirth.

This entry, initially released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2, has never been localized. Japan received a PSP port roughly four years later. The combat system was notable for its addition of three planes per battle, which made positioning pretty important in the grand scheme of encounters.

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.
