Today, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust announced that digital pre-orders for Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian are now available. To celebrate, a story trailer has been released, alongside new information regarding certain Atelier characters players will encounter on their adventure, and the town development system. Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is scheduled to release on 26thSeptember 2025 on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ and PC Windows via Steam®.
In Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, players follow Rias Eidreise and Slade Clauslyter as they explore mysterious ruins near their hometown, Hallfein. Upon discovering these ruins, Slade’s Geist Core reacts, opening a passage to an alchemist’s atelier filled with secrets that the two protagonists will attempt to unravel. After discovering that the power of Slade’s Geist Core can open gateways to new dimensions, known as the Dimensional Paths, Rias and Slade explore these mysterious dungeons where they find a pedestal with strange text written in an unknown language.
In addition to the traditional gameplay loop Atelier fans know and love, players will experience a new system centred around the main story progression and the restoration of the town. By visiting the Town Hall, Star Landing, users will be able to invest the money they earned by completing requests and selling items in the five town’s districts.
As the districts develop, their level and rank will increase, gradually unlocking various passive benefits such as new products in merchant’s stock or more effective gathering. Alongside Rias’ shop, operated by players, new shops will open in the different districts, each selling various products depending on the district they are located in, where specific ingredients and new recipes can be acquired.
The appearance of Hallfein will evolve as it is rebuilt, depending on the investment rank in each district, and inhabitants will give players new quests while new visitors wander the streets. Among these new visitors, players will encounter characters well known from previous Atelier titles, such as Marie, Meruru, Firis and Platcha. By talking to these characters, players will trigger short events and unlock “Bond Quests”. Completing these “Bond Quests” will provide users with various precious rewards. Players can also receive requests at the Town Hall.
Aside from the standard version of the game, the Digital Deluxe Edition is also available for pre-order, which includes the base game, a selection of costumes for all playable characters, and a pack of items. Players can also pre-order the Ultimate Edition which includes the Season Pass, a selection of extra BGM music, new costumes for all playable characters, new playable characters, new recipes, and a high-difficulty dungeon.
