Fresh off the rumor mill comes what looks like the next instalment in the Tales of Franchise, Tales of Arise. Bandai Namco Entertainment accidentally leaked the game prior to E3 2019.
Before we get too far with this, we want to remain transparent by saying that this rumor surfaced from 4chan. Some credibility comes along with this announcement, as Bandai Namco just stated that a major security issue resulted in their entire lineup leaking to the public.
Bandai Namco has a major security issue right now they should be dealing with. Their entire lineup just leaked in the last hour.
