Last week, GameStop's Canadian branch announced that Tales of Graces f's western debut in North America would include some special pre-order DLC. Namco Bandai has now officially announced said DLC for a U.S. release alongside Canada.

Tales of Graces f (the f stands for "future") has an extra post-game story which takes place after the game's original ending. Without spoiling anything, there seems to be an increase in the monster population, which increases the amount of monster attacks around the world. This causes Asbel and his group to set off once again to determine the cause behind the recent disturbance.

The DLC in the U.S. is the same as Canada, right down to the costumes and the special custom PS3 theme. However, if you had pre-ordered the game at Amazon you are out of luck as Namco Bandai has confirmed that the pre-order DLC is exclusive to GameStop and will not be offered as paid DLC post-launch. This is similar to the Japanese release which followed the same rules sans retailer exclusivity.

Tales of Graces f will be released in North America on March 13, 2012, with the European release following sometime in Summer 2012 where it will be also be localized in German and French.
