The Opening Cinematic for TALES OF ARISE Screams Anime Intro

Bandai Namco has dropped the opening cinematic for the upcoming game Tales of Arise and it feels straight out of an anime. I love it. The song used is “Hibana” by the j-rock band Kankaku Pierrot, and the animation is done by Ufotable. It’s absolutely incredible, and I cannnot wait to watch this new anime...I mean play this new game on September 10.

Tales of ARISE follows the story of Alphen, an iron-masked individual whose home planet of Dahna has been enslaved and stripped of natural resources for the past 300 years by the nearby planet of Rena. As Alphen fights to free his people he encounters Shionne, a girl from Rena who is on the run from her countrymen. Both Alphen and Shionne will be joined throughout journey by a supporting cast of characters to help in their fight for freedom.

Tales of Arise will be available on PC (via Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
