Namco Bandai Trademarks Tales of Asteria, Tales of Kanade

If the string of Tales trademarks in the past by Namco Bandai wasn’t enough, two more trademarks have been registered by the company in Japan earlier this month. According to Gematsu, these games Tales of Asteria and Tales of Kanade. Another game, Tales of Zestiria, was also trademarked earlier in not only Japan but Europe and North America.

Namco Bandai launched a teaser site earlier a few days earlier for the next flagship entry in the Tales series, so it could likely be one of the above. Keep in mind that it will likely be hitting Japan first and then end up being localized for the West where it will release a year or two down the line. At least that was the case of Tales of Xillia.

Thankfully, Western audiences will have their fill of Tales action when Tales of Xillia 2 launches in 2014 for the PlayStation 3. We’ll keep you updated on the next Tales game in the coming weeks.
