Namco Bandai is Forming a Studio Focused Solely on Game Development

And yes, everyone from the former 'Tales' team will be coming along.
When we heard about the 'Tales' team was being dissolved, we saw is as a bad sign for the franchise. As it turns out, this was the start of a bigger move for the studio as a whole.
Namco Bandai has long been both a publisher and developer of games, but now it seems that's too much to put under one roof. The company is splitting off its developers into a separate studio that's focusing purely on development.
The new group, called Namco Bandai Studio, will be formed April 2nd and will take care of projects like 'Tekken,' 'Soul Calibur,' and the 'Tales' franchise. Over 1,000 people will be employed at this new studio, including all of the staff from the former Namco Tales Studio.

Namco Bandai is Dissolving the Tales Studio
Mon Nov 21, 2011 at 10:30 AM ETTags: Tales Studio, Tales of Xillia, Namco Bandai (all tags)
The studio responsible for the 'Tales' series is shutting down, but there's no indication yet that this will affect game production.
Even casual gamers will have heard of Japanese roleplaying games like 'Final Fantasy' and most are familiar with 'Chrono Trigger,' 'Secret of Mana' and maybe even 'Star Ocean.' It's a special kind of devoted fan that delves into the 'Tales' series though.
Those fans may be in for disappointment as the Namco Tales Studio has been shut down. The studio, founded in 2003, has been responsible for all of the 'Tales' games including the recent 'Tales of Xillia.' The move needs approval from Namco's board, but it's expected to go through without issue.
Though the studio is dissolving, there's been no official word on what this means for the long running 'Tales' series. What seems most likely is that the Tales Studio will exist within Namco Bandai instead of as a separate entity.
