Those who followed Tales of Xillia over the last year leading up to its release know that the game has some incredible animated cutscenes thanks to ufotable. According to a retail shop leak via 7-Eleven in Japan it appears Namco Bandai is taking that to the next level with, you guessed it, an anime adaptation.

This leak focuses around the January 2012 edition of the Japan-only Viva Tales of Magazine that's been running over there for a while now. The description for the page mentions the phrase "Tales of Xillia: The Animation" but nothing else.

Of course, Namco Bandai has yet to official announce anything or respond to this leak so it's still a rumor, but this was the same website that broke the news about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker so it may have some weight behind it compared to other "leaks" in the past.

As always, if we learn any more information we'll be sure to let you know.

UPDATE (11/25): Appears that the leak was referring to the Tales of Symphonia animation, not Xillia.
