Koei Tecmo has announced Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian. The RPG is coming to PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Switch in 2025.

The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is a spin-off the mobage Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator. It features brand new protagonists and a new story, though it shares the same setting as the other game.

The game is described as an Alchemy RPG and it's being developed by Gust. The official site also points to Team Ninja's participation.
 
Wait. So the day after there was a show that repeatedly made a big thing about Atelier finally being on Xbox they announce a new Atelier on everything except Xbox.

I cannot imagine how piss little it has to cost to make a new Atelier game considering how fast they are pumping them out:
 
This one confuses me, so it's a single player game set in the same world as the phone game? I guess they are just trying to efficiently reuse assets made for that lol?
 
KT Europe confirmed again that this new Atelier spin-off:
  • is an original story based in the world of Atelier Resleriana
  • can be enjoyed offline, without having played Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator
  • does not include a gacha system

Looks like the game is no longer coming to PS4 outside of Japan. It is still releasing worldwide on PS5, Switch, and PC, though.

Koei Tecmo, Gust, and Team Ninja have updated the official website of their upcoming alchemy RPG, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian. This offline entry branches from the gacha title Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, which has ended service outside of Japan.

This website update has removed the PlayStation 4 as a release platform for the game in the West, which was previously stated during the initial announcement. Instead, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian is now only confirmed for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Further, a new note on the bottom of the website states that the PlayStation 4 version of the title will not be sold outside of Japan. Outside of this website update, neither the developer nor the publisher has made comments about this matter on social media.

There has also been no new information on the title since its announcement in September 2024. All we know is that this entry will feature a new adventure in the land of Lantarna with new protagonists.

 
I guess the audience for these games has moved to the PS5 in the West but not in Japan?

Seems an odd move. I'd have still released the PS4 version outside Japan even if it was digital only.
