Gorgeous new artwork by Minoru Iwamoto features the Tales of Arise cast all dressed up and ready for their upcoming 1st Anniversary Party! With a bunch of new merchandise, too!
The Tales of Arise 1st Anniversary Party is scheduled on September 25, 2022, which will be a face to face event at the Yokosuka Arts Theater in Kanagawa, Japan.
New Artwork
New artwork featuring the cast has been released, and this is also the main focus of the new merchandise. For comparison, this is what the default illustration looks like.
And here's a closer look at each new illustration:
New Commemorative Merchandise
Aside from the merchandise pre-sales held earlier, an additional batch of commemorative goods featuring the cast in this new artwork are also up for pre-order at Asobi Store. Pre-orders are open from September 9 to October 10th, with the goods releasing mid December 2022. Again, the store is Japan-only, so you will need a proxy or a friend to order from them. We personally recommend FromJapan.
Cast
The anniversary party, similar to the other anniversary parties held in the past, will feature the voice actors of the game.
- Alphen - Takuya Satou
- Shionne - Shino Shimojo

- Law - Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

The Tales of Arise 1st Anniversary Party is part of the new "Road to TOF" event, which is a series of events leading up to Tales of Festival 2023 next year. It is the first of a number of events leading up to the Festival.
Tales of Arise is the latest mothership title (new classification: original title) of the Tales of Series which was first announced during Microsoft’s Press Conference in E3 2019. The game was released for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and PC Digital via Steam on September 9, 2021 for Asia and Japan and September 10, 2021 for the rest of the world. The game features use of the Unreal Engine 4 and works on the theme of tradition versus evolution of the series.
