Tales of Arise is the seventeenth mainline entry in Bandai Namco's beloved Tales series — and a bold reinvention that brought the franchise to a new generation. The planet Dahna has been enslaved for 300 years by the technologically superior world of Rena. You play as Alphen, a Dahnan man with no memories and an iron mask welded to his face, who wields the Blazing Sword — a weapon of pure flame — with the help of Shionne, an untouchable Renan girl carrying a painful curse of her own. Together they lead a growing party of rebels across five stunning regions of Dahna, each ruled by a Renan lord, in a quest to break the chains of 300 years of oppression.
