Atelier Sophie 2 and Tales of Arise Free DLC: Cross‑Franchise Items Arrive for JRPG Fans
Gust and Bandai Namco have rolled out a limited cross‑franchise DLC collaboration that brings cosmetic items from the Tales series into Atelier Sophie 2 and Gust’s Atelier franchise items into Tales of Arise.
The free packs went live in April 2022 and are part of broader anniversary activities tied to each series: Tales of Phantasia debuted in December 1995 and Atelier Marie first arrived in 1997, milestones that contextualize the celebration of both long‑running JRPG properties.
What the crossover includes
- Atelier Sophie 2 (available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam): players can download the Owl King Doll, Alphen’s Iron Mask, and Shionne’s Hair Ornament as accessory items.
Atelier Sophie 2 was released worldwide in February 2022 and is developed by Gust, a studio under Koei Tecmo.
- Tales of Arise (available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam; the game is not available on Nintendo Switch): players can obtain the Starguide Staff, Hunting Rifle, and Sophie’s Flower Hair Clip for use in‑game.
Tales of Arise was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and released on September 10, 2021.
Official announcement summarized
Koei Tecmo Europe announced that the cross‑franchise DLC between the Tales series and Gust is available to download at no cost, listing the specific accessory and weapon items for each title and pointing fans to the official collaboration site for additional materials such as developer interviews and key art.
Availability and how to get it
The DLC is distributed through each game’s standard storefront: the Nintendo eShop for Atelier Sophie 2 on Switch, the PlayStation Store on PS4/PS5, the Xbox Store on Xbox platforms, and Steam on PC.
Because Tales of Arise was not released on Nintendo Switch, the Arise items are not available on that platform.
This cross‑promotion is a straightforward, free offering that highlights both studios’ anniversaries and gives players cosmetic ways to celebrate two veteran JRPG franchises.
For full details and any region‑specific notes, consult the official collaboration page or the publishers’ storefronts.
