There is still no set date, but preregistration has opened with a campaign: 50,000+ registrations will unlock Sophie's Toast of the Town costume from Tales of Graces f's Linage and Legacies arc. 100,000+ will unlock 20 Diamonds to be used in the game.
Also, the character popularity poll has finally opened again after several years and is currently ongoing with several categories. If anyone reading needs help voting, I'll gladly do so in the comments. The poll will close on April 30 at 11:59 PM (Japan time) and the results will be announced at Tales of Festival this year. As a reminder, Yuri and Leon were added to the Hall of Fame and votes for them will not be accepted.
The second set of costume DLC for the western release of Tales of Berseria is out now (in the Americas, will edit with prices for other regions once it's out there). This week the Summer Holiday set was added and costs $11.99/Can$15.99/£9.49/€11.99/$17.95 AUS/R$36.90/RUB 859. There is also an attachment set that costs $7.99/Can$10.99/£6.49/€7.99/$11.95 AUS/R$24.50/RUB 574 that includes the Mieu costume set, a Geoboard set, Angel wing set, Berseria character dolls, bangs set, hairstyle set.
A free Rokurou theme is available on the PS Store as well.
This is a bit late because I missed it earlier, but Bandai Namco US has uploaded another Tales of Berseria character trailer, this time of Eizen.
The European branch of Bandai Namco has also posted a launch trailer, separate from the one the US branch posted. Note that there may be things in it that you might not want to see before playing so watch at your own risk.
The Japanese release date for the second Tales of Zestiria the X blu-ray box has been announced to be July 28 this year. The box, like the last one, will cost over 30,000 yen with variances in pricing and what's included depending on where you buy it from.
