The 13th flagship title in the Tales franchise, Tales of Xillia

Namco Bandai has revealed the anime RPG will be released in both Europe and the States sometime in 2013.Tales of Xillia differs from most of the other games in the franchise in that the camera is centred behind the back of the avatar rather than overhead, and by having two separate anime openings, depending on whether players opt to control Jude or Milla.The game was originally released in Japan to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Tales franchise in September 2011. Two weeks ahead of release, it became the most pre-ordered Tales game in the territory ever, and its sales numbers are the highest in the series, bar Tales of Destiny 2. A sequel to Tales of Xillia is already in the works for release in Japan later this year.
