About Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn edition
About Tales of Arise
Tales of Arise follows the story of Alphen, a man who cannot feel pain, and Shionne, a woman whose “Thorns” cause pain to anyone she touches. Together, they lead a revolution to liberate the planet Dahna from 300 years of Renan oppression.
The Beyond the Dawn expansion picks up the narrative one year after the main game’s conclusion. It introduces Nazamil, a girl of both Dahnan and Renan blood who is struggling to find her place in a world that is still healing from centuries of conflict.
The expansion features the same Stylish Action Battle system, allowing players to chain together Boost Strikes and elemental Astral Artes.
