Hey everyone, former AC Admin PanbanRichard here. On Aug. 31st, 2021 - Sept. 8th, 2021, I'll be hosting the Tales of Marathon Stream 3 to celebrate the release of Tales of Arise on Twitch!
Previous iterations of the event took place during the localizations of Tales of Xillia in 2013 & Tales of Xillia 2 in 2014, and I thought I'd bring it back one more time for Tales of Arise's release!
Check out the Overview Video below to see how everything came together:
There will be three Tales of games which were determined by polls earlier this year streamed over the course of 9 days. The games that won the polls are Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition, Tales of Eternia, and Tales of Berseria. During the stream, I'll also be joined by guest commentators from throughout the community.
