Hideo Baba, the Brand Manager of the Tales franchise for Bandai Namco, has confirmed that Tales of Hearts R will be released in North America sometime this year. The Vita game is a remake of a Tales title that was originally released for the DS in 2008.
That was all Baba was ready to announce at this point, though it was more than Bandai Namco wanted him to say. The publisher originally posted the announcement on YouTube this morning, but quickly pulled the video. Thankfully, the Internet put it back.
Baba promised that more information regarding Tales of Hearts R, Tales of Xillia 2 and 2015’s Tales of Zestiria would be revealed soon. Maybe some of it will even be things Bandai Namco wants us to hear.
