The next Atelier installment announced during Nintendo Direct brings back a familiar face. Ryza returns one again in Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key, announced for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The game scheduled to release in North America on February 24, 2023, a very busy month for JRPG fans. A live stream event scheduled for September 16th at 6am ET (3am PT).

Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key Synopsis

The latest summer escapade finds Ryza and friends enjoying their peaceful lives on Kurken Island when they hear news that a mysterious group of islands have appeared in nearby waters. It turns out that these islands, known as Kark Isles, are having a negative effect on their homeland, so Ryza and her friends quickly set out to investigate. But when their investigation leads to an enormous gate deep within strange ruins, Ryza hears a haunting voice in her head that wants to lead her to the ‘Code of the Universe’. Who is talking to her and what lies beyond the gate?

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.

Atelier Ryza 3 Limited Edition

Physical limited editions for consoles now available for pre-order at NIS America’s online store. Players not only receive the physical game in its original case but also cloth poster, artbook, and an early access DLC outfit for Ryza. The set retails at $109.99 USD.

Atelier Ryza 2 made a positive step-forward but we hope the third installment will pick-up features in its alchemy gameplay from Atelier Sophie 2. Fans can visit the game’s official website for additional details. Atelier fans can pick up Atelier Ryza 2 wallpapers here at Cat with Monocle. Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key announced for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, releasing on February 24, 2023.
