In addition to Tales of Rebirth for PlayStation 2, the PlayStation Portable remake of Tales of Eternia and the PC-based MMORPG Tales of Eternia Online, Tales Studio is currently working on yet another addition to Namco's flagship RPG series, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 for Game Boy Advance. As a new feature, a system simply titled party battles is being introduced. During battle, a total of four parties (or 12 characters) can be active at the same time. Players will have the opportunity to create their Tales series dream team, as Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Eternia and Tales of Destiny characters will be included in the game. Located in the hometown of the two protagonists Flio and Kyaro, the Narikiri Shop is a major feature of the game. This shop, where players can create, improve and sell clothes, is operated by Mel and Dio, the protagonists of the first Narikiri Dungeon title.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 will be available in Japan on January 6th for 4,800 yen ($46.52 US).
