The next Atelier entry will skip one of Sony’s consoles. The Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian official site confirmed the PS4 version won’t appear worldwide. Koei Tecmo and Gust didn’t offer an explanation why. The Japanese version of the site still mentions the platform. [Thanks, Netto’s Game Room!]
Back in September 2024, the developer and publisher announced Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian, which follows the mobile game Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator, and said it would be on the PS4, PS5, Switch, and PC in 2025. Sometime since then, the PS4 version ended up being dropped. The site still mentions the other three. Koei Tecmo even changed the description for the trailer shared back in September to remove that console. However, the video itself still mentions the PS4 release.
At the bottom of the English-language site, there is an update on platforms. Koei Tecmo noted, “Please be advised that the PlayStation®4 version will not be sold outside of Japan.”
As the PS4 is not region-locked, someone could import a copy of the game from that country or go with the Asian release. However, someone would need to double-check languages. While Asian versions can include English among the language options, the Japanese versions tend to only include Japanese text.
The Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist and the White Guardian will appear on the Switch, PS5, and PC worldwide in 2025, and it will also be on the PS4 in Japan.
