Atelier Ryza 3 Gets A Deep Dive First Look Worthy Of Its Summer Moniker

Koei Tecmo and Gust’s biggest JRPG franchise, the Atelier series, is getting another entry in its thigh-licious Ryza storyline.

Atelier Ryza is getting a third game, and it’s subtitled Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key. Yes, we talked about it in brief when it was announced for Nintendo Switch, but it’s also coming out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam) as well.

Both Koei Tecmo and Gust published a new 7-minute gameplay trailer of the game, detailing its story, its cast, and its new literal keys mechanics used for combat. Here’s a quick overview:

Open Field

While uncovering the mysteries of Kark Isles, Ryza and her friends will explore four regions in a new “open field”—all explorable with seamless transitions!

As players travel through these beautiful and vast sprawling landscapes and vistas, they will find mysterious keys that will aid them on their adventure.

There are various types of keys that can be found and created, useful for exploration, synthesis and battle. Each key has a different effect, so players will want to try experimenting with them as the keys to unlocking the island’s secrets are now in your hands.

Characters

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key reunites players with characters from previous games, as well as making new friends pivotal to the story!

A total of 11 party members will be featured in this latest entry, one of the largest rosters in series history!

Returning for the third summer adventure is the reliable and friendly Reisalin Stout [Ryza] (voiced by Yuri Noguchi), the intelligent and hard-working Klaudia Valentz (voiced by Hitomi Oowada), the devoted ruins researcher Tao Mongarten (voiced by Junta Terashima), and the humble and sincere Lent Marslink (voiced by Takuma Terashima)—with more characters to be announced in the coming months.
