Koei Tecmo has revealed the third round of information for Gust's "Atelier Kalia: The Alchemist of the Night Kingdom and the Waypoint of Memories," showcasing new characters in the underground world of Noctalem, branching endings, and adventure systems such as base building.
The newly revealed characters include Kleve, a masked alchemist guarding the dragon responsible for the Mana depletion; Livelle, who uses foot blades and shares his stance; and Signa, who aims to hunt giant creatures. Victor, who takes over the Aradis Pioneer Group, and Anest, an autonomous mechanical doll managing the atelier base, will also appear. Players must investigate the rapidly spreading Mana depletion and confront the super-giant creature suspected to be the culprit.
After increasing affinity with partners, players can trigger special interaction events at night and enter each character's exclusive ending. Choices made during adventures will also affect story progression and the final outcome. Meals prepared in the kitchen can be used to host dinner parties, thereby increasing affinity, enhancing abilities, or improving gathering quality.
The Base Building System allows players to place furniture and functional equipment in the wilderness. Monster statues can increase the drop rate of items from similar enemies, while BBQ grills and material collectors will continuously provide resources. Unlocking secondary bases and relay bases will further expand the main base, unlocking blueprints, increasing furniture placement limits, and providing combat or exploration bonuses.
"Atelier Kalia: The Alchemist of the Night Kingdom and the Waypoint of Memories" is scheduled for release on PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on February 25, 2027. It will feature various content such as a Digital Deluxe Edition, Season Pass, physical bonuses, and save data linkage rewards.
