The rumor of a PS3 HD re-release of Tales of Symphonia and Dawn of the New World looks to be no more than speculation. Earlier this month, series producer Hideo Baba gave fans hope of the bundle, rumored to be titled Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Edition, saying such a game would be “a representation of the dreams and hopes of the fans, who have long been wanting it..
Speaking to JPGames.de, Baba said, “That fan then said that it’s the tenth anniversary of Tales of Symphonia in Japan this year,” Baba went on , “And I just said that there might be something coming, as a celebration. But it will be more like a ‘Tales of CafĂ©’ or an event at NamcoCon… but we actually have no plans yet, there are only ideas.”
So, while 2013 may see a few more Tales-related announcements, Perfect Edition isn’t likely to be one of them. Altogether more certain is the arrival of the next Tales game, with Xillia signed up to spin yarns on August 6 in North America, and August 9 in Europe.
