The trailer focuses on the Slayers characters’ appearances in Tales of the Rays, as well as the new character art. Besides adding Naga the Serpent and Xellos, the Tales of the Rays x Slayers crossover also adds costumes for Tales characters. A costume for Tales of Symphonia‘s Mithos mimics the look of Slayers‘ Hellmaster Fibrizo. Van from Tales of the Abyss puts on a coat worn by Chaos Dragon Garv.

The first Slayers crossover event will also be rerun via the game’s gacha banners. Players who missed out the last time have a new chance to snag Lina, Gourry, Amelia, and Zelgadis. A banner with Lina, Naga, and Xellos will also be available. Finally, Lina will receive her final Magic Mirror item during the second crossover.

The official account of Tales of the Rays also posted a lineup of the characters as rendered in the game’s engine.
