Namco Bandai’s Tales series is arguably the third most-popular JRPG franchise in the world (behind Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest). For nearly two decades, it’s gained a loyal following, and with 14 games so far released in the core series, it’s set to keep on growing.
That growth may come by way of three new Tales-related trademarks Namco Bandai registered for in Japan. These trademarks were found by Siliconera by way of Esuteru.
The trademarks are for Tales of Catastora, Tales of Creales, and Tales of Zestoria. It’s important to note that there are many a Namco trademark for unused Tales names (like Tales of Blessia and Tales of Floweria), so these three games may not necessarily ever happen. Nonetheless, it’s good to know that Namco has its eyes on Tales’ future.
Speaking of Tales, we have Tales of Xillia here in the IGN offices, so keep an eye out for our review in the coming weeks. And, of course, revel in the good news that Tales of Xillia 2 is officially coming west in 2014.
