Those of us who are awaiting Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key got some unfortunate news last night. Koei Tecmo pushed a message from the producer of the game on Twitter. It looks like Atelier Ryza 3 will not be released next month, and instead will released on March 24th, 2023.

The reasoning is stated to be extra time to fine-tune the game to make it the trilogy end, that Ryza deserves. I am optimistic that means that they are doing a lot of quality assurance to make sure the game is in its best condition. I am always an advocate that games should be released when they are ready. Even though it means we have to wait an additional month, I am hopeful that it also means that it will be a game full of great content and stability.
Lastly, it will be interesting to see how Atelier Ryza 3 fairs, as it will be released on the same day as Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake.
