Tales Social Game Will Have Over 100 Characters From 15 Games

Namco Bandai are bringing two of their popular series to Mobage. The publisher announced Idolm@ster Social Game (tentative title) and Tales of Kizna (tentative title). The Idolm@ster game is a bit different than the arcade and upcoming PlayStation 3 title – it uses a card battle system. Idolm@ster Social will have over 100 characters plus brand new idols. You can also challenge other players in Live Showdowns and the winner can take an item from the loser. Idolm@ster Social is slated for release at the end of November.

Tales of Kizna is being developed by KLab, a social game studio that created Toybot Fighters. This game will feature over 100 characters from the series from fifteen different titles. Like the Idolm@ster Social, Tales of Kizna uses character cards. Players will be able to combine these to create a parties and join guilds with other players. Guilds can band together to battle giant monsters or other guilds. Tales of Kizna will be released in the middle of November and registration is open today.
