New Tales of the Rays Event Adds Xenosaga’s KOS-MOS

While the Xenosaga series ended back in 2006, its poster child KOS-MOS has lived on in a multitude of cameo appearances over the years. In her latest appearance, KOS-MOS joins the cast of Tales of the Rays, a mobile game that includes characters from many of the Tales of games from Bandai Namco. Her original voice actor, Mariko Suzuki, reprises her role for the crossover.

Check out KOS-MOS in Tales of the Rays below:

Along with KOS-MOS, the Tales of the Rays event, titled Xenosaga Episode III: Another Protocol, features Xenosaga character outfits worn by Tales of alumni. The crossover costumes include Velvet from Tales of Berseria dressed up as T-elos, Laphicet from Berseria dressed as chaos, and Kanonno Earhart from Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 dressed as MOMO.

KOS-MOS has appeared in various Tales of games, either directly or indirectly, over the years. For one, she can assist in battles as a summon in Tales of Hearts. Meanwhile, Judith can wear her Episode I costume as part of DLC in Tales of Vesperia (which is available at no extra cost in the Definitive Edition), and her helmet is an Artifact in Tales of Arise. She’s also made appearances in both Project X Zone games; the first Baten Kaitos; Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier and its sequel; Xenoblade Chronicles 2; and so much more.

Unfortunately for players wanting to try the Xenosaga Episode III: Another Protocol event, the global version of Tales of the Rays shut down for Android and iOS devices in May 2018. But if you want to play a game featuring KOS-MOS, you still have several options. Now, if only I could suggest the Xenosaga games themselves on current platforms, but they are still stuck on PlayStation 2. But I totally recommend playing them.

Stay tuned to RPGFan for more RPGs (and more featuring KOS-MOS)!
