A new installment of the video games appears to be hinted at in the latest video trailer Koei Tecmo released to mark the 25th anniversary of its Atelier series. The Atelier series is one of the games that the Japanese business will be showcasing at the Tokyo Game Show in 2022. In light of this, it is not surprising that the development team has something ready for fans to enjoy before the event.
Over the years, the Atelier series has consistently maintained a presence across many gaming systems and platforms. Since October 2021, however, no information on a new video game has been released. At last year’s Tokyo Game Show, this is when Atelier Sophie 2 was formally unveiled. It seems like the perfect time for Koei Tecmo to revive interest in its alchemy-themed role-playing games, as the franchise will be celebrating a significant anniversary in 2022.
The various titles that make up the whole Atelier franchise from the 1990s to the present were emphasized by Koei Tecmo in the 25th-anniversary teaser. The video featured artwork and significant images in photo frames from each game, beginning with the 1997 release of Atelier Marie and ending with the 2022 release of Atelier Sophie 2. However, the community of players that love the game would likely be most intrigued by the video’s final frame, where an empty frame appears to be making room for a new installment in the franchise, aside from the nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Atelier Sophie 2 is a sequel to Atelier Sophie, which first came out in 2022, even though it has only just been launched. Given this, the public is probably anticipating that Koei Tecmo and Gust have been developing a new installment of the game, complete with new characters, a brand-new plot, a brand-new setting, and more. A new Atelier video game should be released soon if the developers don’t let the fans down.
