A description for the yet-to-be revealed trailer simply states: “A serenity soon to be disturbed.”Of course, there’s already speculation over what this game might be — and yes, Elden Ring 2 was one of the first suggestions (to be fair, the announcement’s lettering looks somewhat similar to Elden Ring’s logo). But an announcement of that magnitude seems better suited to a major announcement showcase, rather than just appearing online on a random Thursday.So what else could it be? There’s a decent possibility this is the next game in Bandai Namco’s venerable Tales series, following 2021’s popular Tales of Arise. Five years on, it feels time for a glimpse at an all-new adventure.Other possibilities exist too, though, including this being a new RPG for the Digimon franchise, which Bandai also owns the rights to. The company has also published FromSoftware’s Armored Core. Then there’s Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball games.”With an excellent story and cast and a reinvigorated combat system, Tales of Arise is the shot in the arm the long-running Tales RPG series needed to recapture its best moments,” we wrote in IGN’s Tales of Arise review, which returned a 9/10. Is it finally time for another chapter? Stay tuned for more later this week.Tom Phillips is IGN’s News Editor.
