Brought together by a shared crisis, this group of teens must escape the city while confronting the memories buried deep within their hearts. As each of them grapples with whether they can accept their past selves, the true nature of the city slowly becomes clearer…

KOEI TECMO DELIGHTS ATELIER FANS DURING SPECIAL LIVESTREAM!

More details about Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian shared! Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack announced with new exclusive content!

Hertfordshire, 11th July 2025 – Today, at Bilibili World, KOEI TECMO and developer Gust delighted fans during a special Atelier livestream by sharing new gameplay information about Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, revealing more details about the synthesis and combat systems ahead of the game’s release on 26th September 2025 on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ and PC Windows via Steam®. Furthermore, KOEI TECMO surprised fans with the announcement of Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack, the definitive version of Ryza’s summer adventures, scheduled for release in 2025 on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows PC via Steam®.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack will take fans back to the adventures of fan-favourite alchemist, Reisalin Stout, and her friends in a collection featuring all three titles from the “Secret” series. This Deluxe Pack will include exclusive content such as new playable characters and new story elements for each of the three titles, allowing fans to extend their adventures alongside Ryza. Furthermore, a special livestream dedicated to Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is already scheduled for 4th August 2025 at 9pm JST (1pm BST / 2pm CEST)*. During this special programme, the development team will reveal the release date and other details about this definitive edition of the “Secret” series.

The Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian dev team also shared new details on the connection between the game andAtelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, as the two titles are jointly considered as A25 in theAtelierfranchise, making the upcoming title a completely new entry in the series and not a spin off nor a port. While the two titles share the same universe and timeline, the upcoming new Atelier Resleriana title takes place after the Weltex is defeated and introduces players to a new story occurring in parallel with Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemist and the Polar Night Liberator, where players follow the adventures of Rias Eidreise and Slade Clauslyter as they explore the Lantarna continent.

In their quest, they will encounter new and familiar characters from pastAteliertitles, such as fan-favourite alchemist Ryza and her friend Klaudia from the “Secret” series, or Ayesha Altugle from the “Dusk” series. These characters will interact with Rias and Slade and help progress through the story. The two main protagonists will engage in turn-based combat against various opponents while influencing the order of action turns to make the most of their team members’ skills. Players will be able to trigger “Multi-Actions” with support characters, enabling them to perform up to three actions in a row. During multi-skills attack, players can use items, and by using two or more in a row, trigger an “Item Mix” that will add extra effects, allowing for a unique combination of items.

By attacking their opponents, players will need to fill in the “Unite Gauge”, allowing them to benefit from different effects depending on the number of “unites” available. For example, when two unites or more are filled in, a special “Unite Attack” will automatically trigger when two front-row characters act consecutively. Once the “Unite Gauge” is completely full, players can use the five unites to trigger a “Unite Burst” where all front-row characters gain consecutive turns. While the “Unite Gauge” progressively depletes from actions consuming unites, the “Unite Attacks” will be considerably strengthened, allowing players to deal massive damages to enemies.

In Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian, players will synthesise items by connecting the “Gift Colours” of selected ingredients, adding traits to the final item. Some specific ingredients, known as “Catalyst Ingredients”, will have particular effects included, allowing fans to synthesise special items. For example, the “Altus” catalyst ingredient will allow players to determine the “Gift Colours” of the next ingredient, while the “Iris Stone” catalyst ingredient will change the pre-designated category of the next ingredient slot. Adding certain ingredients will trigger a “Recipe Morph” and change the recipe being synthesised, allowing players to create new items. By cooperating with up to three other team members or fairies during the synthesis process, players can create items with even more powerful effects, while using Slade’s Geist Core will allow them to enhance only once an item has already been synthesised.

Lastly, during their exploration of the Lantarna continent, players will venture to the “Dimensional Paths”; dungeons whose structure will change randomly with each visit. Fans will be able to pick the difficulty of these dungeons, which will change the enemies they face, the category, and placement of the ingredients they can gather. The higher the difficulty, the more valuable the ingredients and rewards. Fairies can also be encountered, and will give players various useful items, as well as being able to recruit them to work at the “Mistletoe Miscellaneous”, helping to sell various synthesised items.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian will include Japanese voices with English texts only. Everyone who purchases either a physical or digital edition up to the first two weeks after release will receive the “Activewear Adventuring Set” for Rias and Slade, and the “Adventuring Charm Set” as early purchase bonus.

Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian will be available as an entirely offline adventure with no internet connection required*. The game will not include any gacha system (lootboxes) and players will be able to fully enjoy the synthesis and combat systems of a classic Atelier game. The PlayStation® 4 version will not be sold outside of Japan.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is currently in development and is scheduled for release in 2025 on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows PC via Steam.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX and Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX will include Japanese voices with English texts only.

Atelier Ryza 2: Lost legends & the Secret Fairy DX will include Japanese voices with English and French texts.

First look: PS5 Ghost of Yotei Limited Edition Designs

After an exciting State of Play gameplay deep dive for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yōtei, PlayStation Australia is thrilled to share a first look at the PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle, featuring a new intricate console design with a matching DualSense Wireless controller. 

These stunning designs capture Sucker Punch’s fictional depiction of Ezo (which is now known as Hokkaido), and the world that players will embark on to explore Atsu’s tale of vengeance – watch the full reveal trailer here.

Mt. Yōtei is an iconic location and has become a symbol for Hokkaido as well as Atsu herself, which is why there was a desire to reflect the beauty of the region and landscape by paying homage to two beautiful Japanese visual traditions. Fans will also love that both consoles feature a special maker’s seal engraved with PlayStation shapes on the back of the console’s top cover as well as on the DualSense Wireless controllers. 

The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle is inspired by the Japanese art form, kintsugi, a traditional process to repair broken ceramics with lacquer and gold. The design captures the essence and aesthetic of kintsugi, symbolising beauty in imperfection and mirroring Atsu’s own personal journey of healing and resilience amidst the adversities she’ll face along the way.

The bundle comes with a matching DualSense wireless controller, featuring a striking silhouette of Atsu on the DualSense touchpad.

The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition Bundle includes a limited edition PS5 console with disc drive, matching DualSense wireless controller, and a digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei Standard Edition that includes pre-order content, featuring a unique in-game mask, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yōtei Six. Vertical Stand sold separately. 

If you already own a PS5 (model group – slim) or PS5 Pro console, there’s great news for you, too. You’ll be able to purchase Console Covers for PS5 (model group – slim) and PS5 Pro – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition – in limited quantities through select retailers. Both console covers feature the same kintsugi inspired designs and maker’s seal found on The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle.

The DualSense Wireless Controller – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition will also be available as a standalone purchase.

Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition PS5 Console Bundle and Accessories Purchase Information

  • PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle
    • Available at select retailers in limited quantities
  • PlayStation 5 (model group – slim) Console Covers – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition

We recognise the importance of capturing the essence from which Ghost of Yōtei draws its inspiration, and we hope players deeply feel this influence through these designs as they experience the game.

Resident Evil Survival Unit Set to Launch in 2025

Pre-registration Now Open on the App Store and Google Play First Gameplay Reveal Unveiled at Today’s Online Showcase

Tokyo, Japan – July 11, 2025 – Aniplex Inc. (President: Atsuhiro Iwakami) today announced the upcoming global release of Resident Evil Survival Unit, a brand-new mobile strategy game co-developed with JOYCITY Corporation (CEO: Seong Won Cho), based in South Korea. The game is scheduled to launch in 2025 across Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and other regions in Asia.

During today’s online showcase, Aniplex and JOYCITY revealed the first in-depth look at the game and officially opened pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play.

A New Strategic Take on the Resident Evil Universe

Resident Evil Survival Unit is a mobile strategy game based on Capcom’s globally renowned Resident Evil video game series. Co-developed by Aniplex and JOYCITY, the game offers a fresh, mobile-first gameplay experience that diverges from the traditional survival horror format of the main series.

Set in a parallel universe, the game presents an original storyline that builds upon the Resident Evil world while diverging from the original series. Players will enjoy a deep, immersive strategy experience that blends real-time decision-making with the thrill of survival.

A Global Multiplayer Experience

Designed for a worldwide audience, Resident Evil Survival Unit allows players to connect and compete in real time across the globe. With intuitive mobile controls and rich strategic depth, the game invites fans to explore a new dimension of the Resident Evil universe—anytime, anywhere.

The Story Begins in a Locked Hospital

The game opens with the protagonist awakening in a mysterious hospital, having been used as a test subject by Umbrella Corporation. As players uncover the truth and attempt to escape, the story unfolds into a parallel world where familiar characters from the original series return in a brand-new storyline that explores new developments and adventures alongside them.

Build, Prepare, Survive: Your Mansion Is Your Base

Players will establish and manage their own base—an intricately designed mansion where iconic characters live and interact. Fans will appreciate the detailed interiors and decorative elements that evoke the atmosphere of the Resident Evil universe, along with interactive dialogue events that bring the characters to life. Gameplay includes purchasing items from the iconic Weapons Merchant featured in the original series, preparing for missions, and crafting survival strategies. Careful planning and tactical preparation are key to survival.

Assemble Your Dream Team of Original Series Characters

Fan-favorite characters such as Leon S. KennedyClaire Redfield, and Jill Valentine return, allowing players to form cross-title teams. Each character brings unique skills and traits, enabling diverse tactical combinations and offering a fresh experience for longtime fans.

Real-Time Defense Battles

As the game progresses, players will face intense defense battles against powerful creatures inspired by the Resident Evil universe. Success depends on strategic use of character abilities and environmental mechanics, delivering high-stakes, real-time combat.

Featuring Original Creature Design by Yoshitaka Amano

World-renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano joins the project as a guest designer, contributing the original creature “Mortem.” Amano’s design captures a psychological sense of fear—an eerie presence that lingers in the unknown. His unique vision adds a haunting new layer to the Resident Evil mythos.
