In videos posted on Thursday, Namco Bandai Games showcased the Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Code Geass costumes that it is offering as downloadable content (DLC) in its Tales of Xillia 2 role-playing game.
Not only can female characters wear the Madoka Magica costumes, but even the character Kyubey will appear in the form of an costume "attachment." Each costume will be available on November 15 for 500 yen (about US$6.40). The downloadable Code Geass costumes will be available next Thursday for 500 yen each. The game will also offer costumes from earlier "Tales of" games, sports uniforms, and swimsuits.
Namco Bandai Games also began streaming other videos on Thursday:

The "RPG where choice weaves the future" is set one year after the ending of the first Tales of Xillia game. The key to the story is an eight-year-old girl named Elle Mel Marta (played by Mariya Ise). Daigo Okumura (Tales of the Tempest, Yumeria game, Elementhunters) is designing the new characters, in addition to the ones previously designed by Mutsumi Inomata (Windaria, Future GPX Cyber Formula, Utsunomiko) and Kousuke Fujishima (Aa Megami-sama, You're Under Arrest, Sakura Wars).
The game will ship for the PlayStation 3 console next Thursday. Pre-orders will cost 8,380 yen (about US$105) and include the Tales of Xillia 2 -Before Episode- novel and artbook by the scenario writer, three alternate downloadable costumes (including Tales of Symphonia's Emil costume for Ludger), and 17 custom PlayStation 3 themes. Buyers can also add an official Dual Shock 3 Tales of Xillia 2 X (Cross) edition controller for a total of 12,980 yen (US$163).
