Leading video game developer and publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today released TALES OF XILLIA exclusively for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system in North America. The highly anticipated next installment of the long-running TALES OF series brings together a highly engaging cast of characters as they set forth across the mystical land of Rieze Maxia in a perilous journey to restore the world’s mana and figure out why the spirits that have been peacefully co-existing with humans for generations are beginning to die.
TALES OF XILLIA will draw players into the grand adventures of Jude Mathis, a clever medical student attending school in the capital city of Fennmont, and Milla Maxwell, a mysterious woman accompanied by four unseen beings. In a tale that can be experienced from either Jude or Milla’s point of view, the two heroes’ paths fatefully intertwine as they learn that the kingdom of Rashugal has been willfully experimenting with a powerful device that has effectively been draining the world’s supply of mana. Faced with the realization that continued experiments would result in dangerous ramifications, Milla and Jude join forces to restore peace to a dying world in a perilous journey that will test their courage and convictions.
