Many consider Tales of Arise to be one of the best JRPGs in recent years. It marks a significant improvement in graphics for the franchise, as previous entries were often criticized for their dated visuals. Tales of Arise’s gameplay is almost universally praised, and it’s currently the highest-rated game in the Tales of series on Metacritic.

Bandai Namco also released Scarlet Nexus in summer 2021 to positive reviews. Scarlet Nexus’ story was told through the eyes of protagonists Yuito and Kasane, and players had to complete the game twice to get a complete picture of the events. It featured unique telekinesis abilities, with the gameplay being similarly praised by most players. Bandai Namco has now confirmed a new collaboration event between these two games.

Not many details are available at the moment, but fans can expect it to be a short DLC that features fights between the main characters. The Twitter accounts of Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus shared images from the upcoming collaboration event, and players will seemingly earn rewards shown in the images for the respective title. From the pictures shared by Bandai Namco, it looks like players will be able to wield weapons from Scarlet Nexus in Tales of Arise and vice versa.

Many fans are speculating about the contents of this DLC, and others are sharing ideas for future collaborations in the replies. Some players want similar partnerships with Elden Ring, which is also published by Bandai Namco. However, both Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus were developed internally at Bandai Namco Studios, making such partnerships easier to execute.
