Bandai Namco has published a list of guests who will appear at the Tales Of series’ 30th-anniversary live stream. The company will broadcast the stream on YouTube on December 16, 2024.
Three Japanese voice actors will appear as guests in the 30th-anniversary stream to accompany the current Tales Of series producer Yusuke Tomizawa. They will be Ryohei Kimura, Masaya Onosaka, and Junko Iwao. These voice actors have respectively performed roles as Sorey in Tales of Zestiria, Zelos Wilder in Tales of Symphonia, and Mint Adenade in Tales of Phantasia.
Earlier in December 2024, Bandai Namco teased that this stream will include announcements of new projects to help celebrate the anniversary, which it counted from the inaugural release of Tales of Phantasia for Super Famicom (SNES) in Japan in December 1995.
While the announcements will mostly feature new merchandise and events like the Tales of Festival 2025, the company also confirmed that it will gradually release remasters of prior games on more current platforms as part of the anniversary celebrations. Tales of Graces f Remastered, which is slated for release on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 17, 2024, is one such example. The remaster’s producer Yuki Ishikawa has also expressed interest in following up with Tales of the Abyss afterward.
The Tales Of series’ 30th-anniversary live stream will be broadcast on Monday, December 16, 2024, at 7 PM JST (5 AM ET).
