Sequel to GameCube's Hit RPG 'Tales of Symphonia' Coming Locally for Wii

Namco Bandai will release Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for Nintendo Wii later this year. Dawn of the New World is a direct sequel to the hit role playing game Tales of Symphonia (2004) on Nintendo GameCube.



Dawn of the New World takes place two years after the first game ended. The balance between the two worlds in the first game has gone screwy and it has resulted in disaster for the new world. Many of the characters from Tales of Symphonia will return, although Lloyd Irving is no longer the main character. The game instead introduces two brand new protagonists, 16 year old Emil Castagnier and his 15 year old tomboy partner Marta Lualdi. And believe it or not, they blame Lloyd for the sorry state of the new world and embark on a quest to find him.



While Dawn of the New World should bring some much needed role-playing action to RPG-deprived Wii owners, Tales fans should note that this game is not being made by the same team as Symphonia, but rather a small, lower budget studio. The original Symphonia team is actually working on Tales of Vesperia for Xbox 360.



Stay tuned for more details in the future.
