Following the commencement of the half-year anniversary of Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy & the Polar Night Liberator, Famitsu interviewed select staff, including the head of Gust, Junzo Hosoi. Naturally, most of the interview’s contents discussed the free-to-play game in various ways, such as its character designs, concept illustrations, upcoming gameplay features, and more.
However, the end of the interview contains an intriguing comment from Hosoi, in which he, albeit vaguely, teases the development of a new Atelier entry. The wording used here seems to imply it’s for consoles, but it’s not elaborated upon, meaning there’s no concrete understanding here aside from a new Atelier title being in development.
You can view a translation of the relevant interview exchange via Ryuji:
Interviewer: Lastly, could you give a message to the users who are enjoying playing the game?
Hosoi: The half-anniversary marks a milestone with the completion of the first part, but Resleriana is not over yet. We are preparing for many things, so please look forward to the first anniversary as well as the half-anniversary. We are also working on a new consumer* version of the Atelier series, so we hope you are looking forward to that as well.
