Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO
BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that its latest installment to the
popular RPG Tales franchise, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, will be
coming to the PSP in Summer 2007. Players will create a hero to embark on a
valiant quest to save the land of Terresia from the gripping force of a powerful
evil, set on destruction. Complete with full character customization, an
exceptional battle system, and featuring a cast of intriguing characters both
old and new to the series, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is set to bring
another quality Tales RPG to the PSP system for the first time.
In line with its Tales predecessors, Tales of the

defining graphics, an in-depth and completely new storyline, and an innovative
free-roaming battle system, all set in a new portable world that allows players
to take their new Tales journey with them anytime, anywhere.
Along with the fast-paced battles and riveting
story the Tales series is known for, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology also
lets players create their own hero. Choose from a host of options, such as
voice, hairstyle and class, to start a hero or heroine on their epic journey.
Then through your adventures, find, customize, or create hundreds of items to
equip in order to make the ideal character, or trade your items using the PSP
system wireless functionality. In Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, the
player’s own creation–the player’s own hero–will embark on an epic quest to
save the world.
Along with its riveting RPG game play, Tales of
the World: Radiant Mythology features the largest collection of both old and new
characters to be incorporated into the storyline. Experience the exceptional
storyline as beloved Tales characters such as Stahn Aileron from Tales of
Destiny, Reid Hershel from Tales of Destiny II, Lloyd Irving from Tales of
Symphonia and Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss, and many more, join the
player in battle and aid them on this new quest. All the new and classic Tales
characters come together to weave an extraordinary tale in this groundbreaking
addition to the world-renowned Tales series.
“Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is the
most in-depth RPG title to date in the Tales series as the player is thrown into
an epic journey filled with popular classic characters from previous Tales games
and compelling events that unfold in a dramatic fashion,” Makoto Iwai, Senior
Vice President and COO, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc said. “From the moment
they turn on the game, players will be engaged in the popular free-roaming
battle system Tales games are known for and a story that will submerse the
player from the first scene to the final battle.”
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology sets
players in the mystical world of Terresia. This once peaceful land is turning
into a realm of havoc and darkness at the hands of The Devourer, a creature that
is destroying all in its path. It is up to The World Tree, which creates and
protects the world of Terresia, to use its last bit of strength to summon the
world’s last hope – a lone hero. Now the hero must descend upon the world of
Terresia in an epic battle for survival and honor.
