Bandai Namco Games today revealed two new playable characters set to appear in its upcoming DS title Tales of Innocence. Spada Belforma yields from a noble family. Because of rising friction with other family members, the 17-year-old left his family and so far has yet to return. He has a strong sense of justice and is very manly. The 27-year old Ricardo Soldato is a bayonet-wielding sniper. He stresses the importance of contracts, and appears in front of the party as a hired mercenary.

Those who pre-order Tales of Innocence in Japan will be treated to a Voice Adventure DVD (tentative title). This DVD will include a voice adventure, event scenes, interviews with voice actors, and an illustration gallery.

Tales of Innocence will be available in Japan on December 6th for 5,800 yen ($50.12 US).
