Bandai Namco have confirmed a 2019 release date for Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition.

Fans can travel to the world of Terca Lumireis once again when Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on January 11, 2018.

The remastered version of the 2008 JPRG features up-scaled graphics, online leader boards, and the option to choose between English and Japanese voice acting.

The Definitive Edition also features in-game characters, costumes, and events that were previously exclusive to the Japan-only PlayStation 3 release of the game. Finally, the game adds two new playable party members, Flynn Scifo, and the young pirate, Patty Fleur.

Although Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition is not a ground up remake, it’s a fondly remembered game, and rightly considered one of the highlights of the series. Let’s hope it’s successful enough that more games in the series get the same treatment.

We hate to ask, but...

Thumbsticks has a couple of goals. We want to write interesting articles and cover games that most outlets won't, and we want to give opportunities to new writers and new voices. And right now, with the current state of online publishing? It's tough to meet those goals! We hate to ask, but if you want us to continue writing what others won't, or to keep covering weird indie games, or to be able to give opportunities to new writers – and only if you can afford it – then please consider supporting us on Patreon.
