We’ve learned (via Games Talk) that Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss is making a comeback in Tales of Zestiria.

The news was confirmed via this week’s Famitsu magazine, and the inclusion of Jade in Zestiria is meant as a celebration of the original game’s 10th anniversary.

Famitsu has a screenshot of Jade in combat, although the manner of which his fighting takes place is different from the usual arena battles – a portion of the game where older Tales characters are meant to show up.

Further details weren’t confirmed, but we’ll keep you guys posted.
