Tales of Symphonia compilation coming to PS3

Namco Bandai is reviving one of the most popular entries in the cult Tales Of series, Tales Of Symphonia.

Currently titled Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, the new PS3-exclusive SKU will include both the original JRPG, released in 2004 for PS2 and GameCube, and its sequel Dawn of the New World.

Namco Bandai’s SVP Olivier Comte says the release is "a response to fans’ expectations to bring more Tales Of titles to the West".

The first Symphonia will receive a HD makeover and include additional content. It will also feature the original anime cutsecenes.

Meanwhile Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, previously a Wii exclusive, will include the improved battle system it introduced to the series, including a monster recruitment feature that lets gamers train beasts to join them in battle.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles will be released in Japan on October 10th, followed by a European and Australian release in early 2014.
