Tales of Symphonia is a PS2 port of last year's GameCube Tales debut. Namco's Tales Studios, the division of the company that works exclusively on Tales games, is working on the port for a Japanese release in 2004. The company is expecting to add to the game in some unspecified areas.
Tales of Rebirth, meanwhile, is a completely new game in the series. Taking place in the world of Kalegia, where two races of man, Humes and Gajem, exist together, the game presents a brand new story. You play as a character hardened by some incident in his past.
We expect to have more details on both Tales games shortly. Stay tuned.
