Revealed to fans for the very first time today, NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe is proud to present the exclusive pack art for Tales of Symphonia™: Dawn of the New World. “I thought I should prepare an original key art for PAL area as for Japan and US. As a tribute to the original Tales of Symphonia, I drew this key art with aquarelle-like technique, inspired by the image of the word "DAWN". I hope players feel the relationship between Emil and Marta, and the story around them.” said Daigo Okumura, Character Designer of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
In addition to this exclusive artwork, Tales of Symphonia™: Dawn of the New World contains brand new content exclusively for European players, including the Gallery Mode and head accessories. Unlocked once the game is completed, the Gallery Mode includes a Skits Library containing viewable skits of the gameplay, and an Image Library with a wealth of design sketches, illustrations, pack art and more. The game also contains a number of new themed masks and head accessories for Emil and Marta which are exclusive to the PAL version and allow players to customise the characters in battle and will also add new special effects during fights.
