Teaser website counts down to a new 'Tales of' reveal

Namco Bandai have put a new website online teasing for a "New Tales of" today, just in time for the run-up to TGS.

The site featured a short-lived countdown that uses your system clock to count down to September 14th. Due to using your local time when the timer ends can vary, but for Japanese folks - who the site is aimed at - the timer will end on September 14th at 8am GMT. That's a little over two days, and puts the timer ending right before Tokyo Game Show is due to kick off in earnest.

Tales is having a pretty good time of things right now - Tales of Xillia just shipped over half a million units in Japan in its first few days on sale and the Tales of the Abyss remake for Nintendo 3DS is heading West later this year.

Tales of Xillia's prospects of a Western release are uncertain, but if you can't wait for a Tales fix you can import the Japanese version of the game today. We'll bring you all the latest Tales news from TGS as soon as it lands, as always.
