Tales of Crestoria has been released a few months ago, but Bandai Namco isn’t done promoting its new mobile JRPG.
Today they released a brand new animated short titled “The Wake of Sin” created by Yasutaka Nakata and Kamikaze Douga.
The short highlights the beginning of the game’s story, which is very, very dark.
The Tales series isn’t new to extremely dark themes, and Tales of Crestoria isn’t an exception, even if it doesn’t skimp on moments of levity as well.
You can check it out below.
If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you can check out an official description below.
