Tales of Berseria will be released outside of Japan in early 2017, Bandai Namco announced today.

Berseria, the latest entry in the long-running Tales series, was first announced back in December 2015. While Japan's release (slated for this August) will see it come to PS4, PS3, and PC, in the West we'll only be seeing the PS4 and PC versions.
