Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust Studio announced all new characters and gameplay details for their upcoming Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key JRPG, which will release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on February 24, 2023.
This third and final installment of Atelier Ryza series follows fan-favorite alchemist, Reisalin Stout, and her mischievous friends on their third summer adventure as they set off to investigate a group of mysterious islands that have suddenly appeared, adversely affecting the stability of their hometown, Kurken Island.
While uncovering the mysteries surrounding the islands, Ryza and her friends will be able to explore with a greater sense of adventure than in past Atelier games — discovering landmarks, hidden areas, wildlife, and even randomly occurring quests. The story progresses through encounters and discoveries in the field and even underwater as Ryza will be able to climb cliffs, zip line across the shore, and summon a water beast to climb waterfalls!
▍Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key New Characters
Throughout their journey across the strange islands, Ryza and her friends will meet a variety of charismatic misfits to help aid in their adventures, and here are the four new characters you will meet!
■ Bos
The dignified heir of the Brunnen family. He used to have a strained relationship with Ryza and others due to a slight misunderstanding, but now they have reconciled, even if his badmouthing towards Ryza and the others is still constant.
■ Kara
While her appearance might suggest she’s a little girl, Kara is a half-human, half-animal elder who’s over a thousand years old, and is regarded a legend among the Oren clan. She seems to know something about the mysterious gate that Ryza discovered…
■ Federica Lamberti
Federica is from the crafting city of Sardonica, where she is the deputy union head of the craftsman union. She’s strong-minded and persistent, and wears a pendant that looks similar to a giant gate Ryza encountered when the mysterious islands first appeared.
■ Dian Farrell
A boy found in the remote village of Faurre who is part of a militia group known as Gleaner, warriors who collect Seeds of Light, the power source for the tools used in the village. After being disgusted by Gleaner’s methods, he joins Ryza on her adventure.
