Bandai Namco revealed new crossover content from Xenosaga for the Japanese mobile game Tales of the Rays. The event’s main highlight will be the in-person appearance of KOS-MOS, the combat android who is also the series’ main star. Mariko Suzuki, the original Japanese voice actress for KOS-MOS, will also return to reprise her role in Tales of the Rays.
The crossover will also provide new Xenosaga-themed costumes for several existing Tales Of series characters. Tales of Berseria‘s protagonist Velvet will get a T-elos costume, while the deuteragonist Laphicet will receive a chaos outfit. Kanonno Earhart, who originally appeared in the 2009 PSP entry Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, will also have a costume modeled after MOMO Mizrahi.
Bandai Namco has also uploaded a trailer showcasing the Xenosaga crossover content on the Tales Of YouTube channel:
Xenosaga will not be the first external franchise to provide crossover content in Tales of the Rays. Bandai Namco had previously launched in-house collaborations with God Eater and Scarlet Nexus. The company also held two crossover events with Slayers, adding characters like Lina Inverse and Naga the Serpent.
KOS-MOS and the Xenosaga-themed character costumes will appear in Tales of the Rays, available on Android and iOS devices exclusively in Japan. The game used to have a global English version that launched in July 2017, but Bandai Namco shut it down in May 2018.
