Tales of Zestria/ テイルズ オブ ゼスティリ will be adapted into an anime series by ufotable (Kara no Kyokai, Fate/Stay Night UBW) in 2016. Based on the hard-hitting game by Bandai Namco, the announcement was made during the “Tales of 20th Anniversary Animations,” event held in Japan recently.

ufotable production house is also responsible for the OP sequence and cut scenes of the game as well the Tales of Zestria ~Dawn of the Monk ~ /テイルズ オブ ゼスティリア ～導師の夜明け～TV special to promote the game early this year.
So far, no announcement about the date of airing, voice actors or production team has been made yet. However, knowing that ufotable will be doing this should be a great news to the fans of Tales franchise. The last official Tales inspired anime series is Tales of Abyss which is aired back in 2008.
