In December 2020, Bandai Namco had fans fill out a survey that asked numerous questions about the Tales of series. It included questions about whether or not fans would like to see ports, remasters, or remakes of Tales of games on the latest consoles. While the fan survey is already closed, we’ll get to hear results and answers from it during the Tales of series’ 25th anniversary livestream.
