Tales of Astaria" announces the end of its service. The only Tales smartphone title is "The Rays".

The " Tales of" series is one of Namco Bandai's most popular RPG series in Japan. The 25th anniversary title of the series, " Tales of Arise," released in 2021, was the most successful in the series in recent years, and in February 2023, a remastered version of " Tales of Symphonia," one of the most popular titles in the series, was released. In February 2023, a remastered version of Tales of Symphonia, one of the most popular titles in the series, was released and is also a big hit. In 2025, two years from now, the series will celebrate its 30th anniversary, so we can expect some big announcements and new titles! I'm looking forward to it!

The "Tales of" series seems to be doing quite well, but I have the impression that the titles for smartphones are struggling comparatively. Tales of Crestoria," which started service in July 2020, ended after about a year and a half, and " Tales of Luminaria," which started service in November 2021, ended after less than a year. The "Tales of Luminaria" service, which started in November 2021, will end after less than a year.

Tales of the Rays ", which was launched in February 2017, concluded its main story with "The Last Cradle", and we wondered what would happen to it, but a major update, " Tales of the Rays Recollection & Quot;has been released. I was relieved to hear that a major update, "Tales of the Rays Recollection & Quot;" would be released, but then I received a sad news. The service of "Tales of Asteria," another pillar of the Tales on smartphones, has been announced to be terminated.

Tales of Asteria" will end its service on May 18, 2023 (Thursday) at 12:00. The service was launched in April 2014, so it will end its history in about 9 years.
