A new Tales of Arise mod is now available at Nexus Mods, created by DunArd to improve the overall graphics fidelity of the game. More specifically, the .ini file raises the values of shadows, ambient occlusion, and lighting beyond what can be set via the regular graphics settings.

This Tales of Arise mod obviously only works on PC, but the game is great on all platforms. Here’s what Francesco said in his 9/10 review based on the PlayStation 5 version:

  1. Download Arise-SDK and unzip in the executable folder of ToA.
  2. Open Arise-SDK.ini and where it says “StopMaxCSMResolutionOverwrite = false” change it to “StopMaxCSMResolutionOverwrite = true” and save.
  3. Download my Engine.ini configuration.
  4. Go to desktop and press Win+R, paste “%localappdata%\BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment\Tales of Arise\Config\WindowsNoEditor” in the open tab and press accept button.
  5. Extract my Engine.ini config in the window that has been opened and overwrite the file.
  6. Enjoy!

Another Tales of Arise mod allows PC fans to tweak the game’s difficulty as well as the field of view, camera, and speed while exploring.
