NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe today announced that the Role-Playing Game
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is heading to
Europe and PAL regions
 this
autumn 2009 with exclusive new content. Only on Wii, the game
continues the story of the best-selling Tales of Symphonia
for GameCube, while introducing a new monster collection system that
lets players capture, evolve and do battle with more than 200
monsters alongside a huge cast of new and returning characters.
Set two years after the events of the award-winning Tales of
Symphonia, Dawn of the New World introduces two new young
heroes, Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi, as they journey to find
the cause of a catastrophic change in their world. Crossing paths
with fan-favourite characters such as Lloyd, Colette and Sheena, the
brave adventurers will also encounter a spirit known as Ratatosk,
lord of all monsters, who will grant them new and incredible powers
over the fearsome creatures that now roam the land.
Debuting a major new gameplay system for the Tales series,
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World allows players to
capture more than 200 unique monsters that they face in battle.
Players can feed these monsters to make them more powerful, and even
evolve them into several new fearsome forms. Up to three monsters
can be taken into any battle situation, offering unique benefits
against enemies and imparting new strategic depth to the Tales
series’ lauded Real-Time Battle System.
Brand new content exclusive to the PAL version of Tales of
Symphonia: Dawn of the New World include the Gallery Mode and
head accessories. Unlocked once the game is completed, the Gallery
Mode includes a Skits Library containing viewable skits of the
gameplay, and an Image Library with a wealth of design sketches,
illustrations, pack art and more. The game also contains a number of
new themed masks and head accessories for Emil and Marta which are
exclusive to the PAL version and allow players to customise the
characters in battle and will also add new special effects during
fights.
Featuring a massive cast of returning playable characters, Tales
of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World offers complete freedom in
creating a custom party that best suits the needs of each enemy
encounter. Up to four players can enjoy the full game together
cooperatively, working together to strategically complete each
battle.

Symphonia: Dawn of the New World between now and the UK
