PlayStation 3 role-player Tales of Xillia will be localised for release in Europe next year, publisher Namco Bandai has announced.

The cel-shaded adventure launched in Japan last September.

It focuses on the characters of Jude and Milla, who reside in a world inhabited by humans, spirits and friendly demons.

Xillia will follow the European release of Tales of Graces f, due to hit UK shop shelves on 31st August.

Europe remains several games behind Japan in terms of Tales releases. A sequel to Xillia, again for PlayStation 3, is already scheduled to launch there in November.

Excellent news, the game looks very good. No news about the US though.

That very good and surprising news.

Namco bandai europe is bringing out plenty of games lately... i hope they can make some money off it. Wouldnt like to see them going back to japan only.

Well Tales of Graces F did the numbers in the US and hopfully it'll do well here aswell so it's good. Xilla should do better still.

I have seen several contradicting numbers. I dont have an official source but in another board they were saying NPD numbers gave Graces F only 60k sales in the US and abyss 3DS about 50k.
I do not trust it though, but thats the word going around (same source apprantly also saying abyss PS2 sold 70k wich i find difficult to swallow even though it came out in the same month as FF8).

So, basically we dont really know if the games are doing well or not, but Xillia coming to europe is definitly a good sign. I know for a fact that Abyss 3DS has been constantly sold out. Wether its a good sign or not i dont know.

Its sold out because those morons probably only make 10 copies a month. Real shame they couldnt tighten the code for the 3DS release so the slowdown on the world map wasnt so shit like on the ps2. Easily the best Tales game for me.

I've seen it reported as around 189k since release but Xilla coming over much quickier is a very good sign.
