Bandai Namco has shared new details for the Tales of Festival 2020 live stream that is set to take place this March in Japan. The new information comes from the “How to make Tales of Festival 2020 a more fun special support program” that the developers broadcasted today.
Tales of Festivals usually take place in front of a packed Yokohama Arena audience. They feature events such as talk shows, character skits, concerts, and more. However, due to the pandemic, Bandai Namco will host the Tales of Festival 2020 this March as a special live stream. It was originally set for June 13-14, 2020, but delayed to March 6-7, 2021, due to COVID-19.
The theme for Tales of Festival 2020 is “TalesFes from home” and the keyword is “support.” It will feature 25 years worth of Tales of characters illustrated in their oendan-style cheering squad outfits for the event.
