While Namco Bandai did not announced a reason for absorbing Tales Studio, this does not necessarily mean the end of the Tales series. Tales of Innocence R for PlayStation Vita is slated for release on January 26, 2012. Tales of the Heroes: Twin Braves, an action spinoff for PSP, will come out on February 23, 2012. Namco Bandai also has plans to release Tales of Graces f for PlayStation 3 next year.

 

Namco Bandai has other internal teams like Project ACES (Ace Combat), Project Soul (Soulcalibur), and a Tekken team. Perhaps, Tales team would function like these other groups instead of a separate studio.
