Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers Of The New World Coming West

Celebrate 20 years of Gust Studio’s Atelier Series this winter.

Announced today from Koei Tecmo America, the next Atelier installment, Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World, will be arriving in western countries this winter. The game will arrive in physical format for both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Digitally for both consoles and PC (Steam).

What makes this one special is that this will mark the 20th Anniversary of the Atelier Series, where it all started in 1997. Here’s the official synopsis of the upcoming title:

Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World puts players in the shoes of Nelke von Lestamm, a young noblewoman who has always been fascinated by the ancient legend of the Sage of Granzweit; a tale of the Granzweit Tree which is said to bestow great power upon those whom discover it. As she grew up and learned her skills were not in alchemy, she studied hard to become a government official and help those around her. The day Nelke is set to graduate the academy, however, her life changes forever as she hears a rumour that the tree can be found within her father’s lands near the small village of Westwald. Her father grants her permission to search for it on one condition – that she becomes governor of the area and develops Westwald into a prosperous city.

As players work hard to build Westwald up from a quaint village to a flourishing city, they will require the aid of the many alchemists that settle in the town. Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World features famous alchemists from previous entries across the Atelier series, including those from the Salburg, Arland, Dusk, and Mysterious trilogies.

You can watch the Atelier 20th Anniversary trailer, screenshots, and official art below which also reveals a first look at the main character Nelke and the village of Westwald. Prepare for a new adventure in the Atelier Series, celebrating their 20th Anniversary this winter for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
