Tales of Graces

Tales of Graces is set to be the 12th "Mothership" title in the Tales series, exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. The first information was revealed in a leaked scan of the Weekly Shounen Jump magazine in Japan on April 2, 2009. The character designer for this game is Mutsumi Inomata, despite early rumors that a new artist may be involved in this game. The main character is Asbel Lhant, the "son and successor of a Frontier Lord". This game is confirmed to have a release during Winter 2009.

Tales of Graces was codenamed officially as Tales of Ten during development, referring to this as the 10th game produced by Bandai Namco's internal development team, now currently known as the Namco Tales Studio. This excludes the mothership titles Tales of Legendia and Tales of Innocence from the count, since these games were developed externally by Team MelFes and Alfa System, respectively.
