10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
9. Tales Of Berseria
What is it: The legendary Tales of... franchise hits its 16th installment with Tales of Berseria, a far-off prequel to the previous Tales of Zestiria, but like all games in the franchise, it's a stand-alone story with no requirement to have played any previous games.
In what's possibly the grimmest Tales of... story yet, Berseria follows the story of a disease, Daemonblight, transforming people, creatures, and even plants into demons. Players take on the role of Velvet, a woman who turned into a demon, escaped death, and was imprisoned for three years. Now she's out for vengeance on those who she thinks have wronged her.
Improvements to the battle system include a "liberated movement" system, based on Zestiria's battle system, where the player's movement and camera controls are now 100% free. Which, coincidentally enough, fixes one of Zestiria's greatest flaws.
When's it coming out: 24 January for PS4, and the PC/Steam version follows up quickly after on 26 January.
