As a seasoned gaming enthusiast with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the images of Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & Beginning have truly captured my heart! The vibrant colors and intricate details of each scene transport me back to my younger years when I would immerse myself in RPGs for hours on end.


Recently, Koei Tecmo and Gust unveiled the second gameplay trailer for “Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land,” which is set to release on March 21, 2025 across various platforms including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). In addition to this exciting preview, additional information about the game’s combat and synthesis mechanisms has been disclosed.

In Atelier Yumia’s latest installment, players will learn the intricate skill of Resonance Synthesis. The gameplay promises thrilling real-time battles where players can seamlessly switch or reposition characters at their discretion throughout the fight sequences. Below you’ll find the second trailer for the game and accompanying press release with screenshots offering a sneak peek into the new features of synthesis and combat.

Today, KOEI TECMO Europe together with developer Gust have unveiled fresh information about the gameplay of their upcoming JRPG, “Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land.” Players will also get to see the latest artwork by renowned artist Benitama and preview the journey they’ll embark on in a newly released trailer. Set to launch on March 21, 2025, “Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land” will be playable on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Windows PC via Steam, and for the first time in the series’ history, on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

“Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Imagined Realm” narrates the journey of Yumia Liessfeldt and her allies, as they delve into the enigmas surrounding the catastrophe that brought down the grand continent of Aladiss, effectively outlawing alchemy. Enigmatic figures with a fascination for alchemy like the Noble in Black Robes, the One-Eyed Werewolf, the Witch with Sheep’s Eyes, and the Warrior adorned with Dragon Wings, present formidable challenges for Yumia.

In order to gear up for the exciting journey that lies ahead, players will get a chance to re-experience the distinctive crafting mechanism of the Atelier series in a revitalized manner by shaping “mana” to generate novel items beneficial for battles or exploration. To produce more potent items, enthusiasts must learn the technique of “Resonance Synthesis” by incorporating ingredients that harmonize with each other into the “Alchemy Core” of the recipe. The intensity of this harmony will be determined by the quality of the chosen ingredients.

In the game Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, the battle system has been significantly updated to provide thrilling real-time combat with user-friendly mechanics. The abilities accessible to engaged characters will vary based on their proximity to the adversary (either close or long-range combat). This version introduces a new feature that allows players to change or move characters at any moment during the fight, unlike previous versions of the game. When specific criteria are satisfied, a potent “Friend Action” combo can be initiated in battle. By fulfilling certain prerequisites, players can trigger “Mana Surge”, which grants access to unique actions. Moreover, each character will possess a unique special move called “Maximize Mana Surge”, capable of causing substantial damage to enemies.

Accompanying Yumia and her comrades on an adventure, gamers delve into the expansive landscape of the Aladiss continent. During their expedition, they have the freedom to construct personal bases. The innovative “Building” function enables fans to design and adorn their atelier with a variety of walls, floors, ceilings, furniture, and other items, or opt for a pre-existing base model from the catalog. By elevating the “comfort level” of their atelier, players can unlock perks like expanding their base and boosting the abilities of Yumia and her allies.

In conclusion, players have the option to establish a camp instead of returning to their base while exploring. At these camps, they can cook, which offers advantages during exploration, battles, or rest periods. Additionally, unique events involving characters like Yumia and her allies may occur at these camps, offering deeper insights into them.

Besides the regular version, players also have the option to pre-order two exclusive physical editions: the “Premium Box” and the “Special Collection Box”. The Premium Box comes with the base game, an artbook, a large B3-sized cloth poster featuring original artwork, a CD with bonus tracks, and a unique costume for Yumia titled “Alchemist of her day off” that can be used early. The Special Collection Box contains all items from the Premium Box along with a bandana-style handkerchief resembling the Aladiss Research Team, an A1-sized tapestry with original artwork, six decorative keychains, six special clear file folders, a sticker sheet, Yumia’s cherished plush toy, an official short story and its translation booklet.

Those who buy either the physical or digital version within a fortnight of its launch will get the “Athlete of Memories” outfit for Yumia, the “Floating Object of Memories” attire for Flammi, and an exclusive “Training Wrist Weight” gear as bonus items.

On the 21st of March, 2025, you’ll be able to experience “Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land” on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam. This game will offer Japanese voiceovers accompanied by English, French, German, and Spanish text options.
