In a surprise announcement, it has been revealed that the recently released role-playing game Tales of Arise was initially intended to be a brand-new intellectual property (IP).
According to The Gamer, the game was originally conceived as a standalone title with no connection to the long-running Tales series. However, as the project progressed, the decision was made to incorporate it into the franchise, leading to the game's eventual release as Tales of Arise.
Why did this happen?
Fans of the series have expressed both surprise and excitement at the revelation, with many speculating on what elements of the game might have been different if it had been released as a standalone IP. Some have pointed out that the game's unique setting and characters may have been more prominent if they were not tied to the established Tales universe.
It's unclear at this point why the decision was made to incorporate Tales of Arise into the franchise. Still, the developers likely saw an opportunity to tap into the series' well-established fan base. The game has received positive reviews and has been praised for its beautiful graphics, engaging gameplay, and strong storytelling.
