New story details emerge for Tales of Berseria

In a new update on the Tales of Berseria English blog, Bandai Namco revealed new information about Artorius the world’s savior, Titania the prison island, and the Val Eltia pirate ship.

Artorius, the world’s saviour

He is the head of the exorcists of the Abbey and the hero who brought order to a world where people were frightened by the threat of daemons. He is also a target of Velvet’s revenge.

Titania, the prison island

Titania is the fortified and isolated island where prisoners in “the Holy Midgand Empire” are sent. Velvet had been kept in a cell here since the accident three years ago. The prison is on the lonely island in a forbidden sea and the whole island is itself the prison.

Pirate ship, the Van Eltia

The sailing vessel of Aifread’s pirates. We announced a few days ago that Eizen is a playable character in Tales of Berseria. He’s part of Aifread’s crew of pirates! Doesn’t the ship look beautiful?
