‘Tales of Berseria’ System Specs, Demo Released; Bandai Namco Confirms Use Of Denuvo DRM

The latest entry to the role-playing video game from Bandai Namco, "Tales of Berseria," now has a new demo along with system specs to run the game smoothly. But probably the biggest news that came along the technical details for the game is the publisher's use of the Denuvo DRM for the game.

Weeks ahead of the full game's launch, Bandai Namco gave players a taste of the "explosive drama and action" of the RPG. The publisher also gave a glimpse of how the game will run on PCs.

Further, Bandai Namco also confirmed that they will make use of Denuvo DRM, an anti-tampering software, for its Steam release. They explained that this is necessary because pirates would slow down the development of future PC titles. The Denuvo is one reliable way to combat piracy.

"Denuvo has been proven to be a reliable way to fight piracy. So far, no conclusive evidence is proven to disrupt the player experience," according to the studio as PCGamer reported. Among the other Bandai Namco titles that carries the Denuvo DRM are "God Eater Resurrection" and "God Eater 2: Rage Burst."

The other technical details released by the studio include recommended and minimum system specs for the PC version of "Tales of Berseria." You can check out the game's demo as well on Steam's store page.
