Tales of Zestiria is a singleplayer third-person ARPG game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is 15th main entry of the Tales series.
The PC version of the game was ported to Windows by QLOC and was released on October 20, 2015. Tales of Zestiria has a prequel in the form of Tales of Berseria, released years after Zestiria was released.
The game currently has a few technical issues, mostly because the game speed is tied to the frame rate. The game's frame rate is also capped at 30 FPS[2], but can be capped at 60 with workarounds (see Tales of Zestiria "Fix").
