On October 13, Bandai NamcotrademarkedTales of Luminariain Europe. (ThanksGematsu). Interestingly, the trademarking only happened in Europe for now, as none of theTwitter Japanese trademark botsreported aTales of Luminaria.The titleTales of Luminariasounds like the name of a classicTales ofgame that will deal with Spirits, and it’ll be interesting to see its world and character if it ever gets officially announced.Bandai Namco publicly confirmed to be working on a singleTales ofgame right now,Tales of Arise. The game was first announced at E3 2019 forPC,PS4,Xbox One,. While initially planned for 2020,it was indefinitely delayed. Looking atrecent trademarks however, it’s possible the game will come back sooner than we think in 2021.It’s important to remember the mobile market is by far the biggest games market in Japan and Asia for over a decade now.TGS 2020was entirely online, so it wasn’t as much noticeable this year, but most of the games each year at TGS nowadays are mobile games.Tales of Seriescurrently has three mobile games ongoing.Tales of Luminariacould definitely be a fourth one.Currently, we haveTales of Asteria, celebrating its 6.5th anniversary:
Next, we haveTales of the Rays, with its new version,Tales of the Rays Last Cradlehaving a cool OP animation by Wit Studio and BoA:
Lastly, we haveTales of Crestoria, which has really cool Inomata original chara designs, cool story ideas and nice SSR illustrations, but is pretty much just a thing so far:
Lastly, note that a trademark don’t necessarily mean a game is coming, and projects can as well never go publicly further than a trademark before getting internally canceled. In any case, we’ll probably know for sure in a few months.TheTales of Seriesis currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, asTales of Phantasiareleased back on August 17, 2025. Maybe we’ll get some announcements as we get closer to December.
