A 2008 Japanese release schedule for Namco Bandai has revealed that the company is planning on bringing Tales of Vesperia to the PlayStation 3.

The game was originally believed to be an Xbox 360 exclusive, although it now appears the title will be arriving on Sony’s latest home console too. An official announcement has yet to be issued, however.

As the tenth instalment in the popular RPG series, Tales of Vesperia utilizes an enhanced version of the battle system employed in Tales of the Abyss, called the Evolved Flex-Range Linear Motion Battle System (EFR-LMBS).

New gameplay features include the ability to construct rare equipment by gathering various materials, in addition to performing special attacks, which, when timed correctly, will defeat non-boss creatures in a single hit.

In addition to the standard single player campaign, it has also been confirmed that the title will include both cooperative and multiplayer game modes.

Stay tuned.

    That would be cool.  I was going to wait and buy it on my ps3 eventually anyhow.  We all knew it would only be a "timed" exclusive at the least.

    xeno maybe tales is not on par with final fantasy but it has been a pretty decent game franchise so go away :)

    sw33t, first we take eternal sonata, now tales is right back where it belongs, and we still have FF, the 360s only chance to draw the die hard sony fans away are with the RPGs, and were getting them all any way

    See, I told you so. why would a japanese company give exclusivity of games from the one ganre that the japanese people buy most to the system they buy the least? the 36* will never get an exclusive japanese RPG because no one in japan really cares about the system.
