Yesterday, during a special stage event at the 2019 Tokyo Game Show, Koei Tecmo announced the Atelier Dusk Trilogy Deluxe Pack for the Switch and multiple other platforms.
If the title wasn't already enough of a hint, this upcoming release will include the following three games: Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX, Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky DX, and Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea DX. These games will feature additional elements from the Plus versions as well as DLC.
The good news for fans of this JRPG series in the west is that a worldwide release has already been confirmed. While no local release date has been provided just yet, pre-orders will go live in Japan on 26th September. This is the same day more information about the trilogy will be revealed. A teaser trailer has also been released:
Experience the Dusk trilogy on modern consoles soon! The Alchemists of Dusk -- Land, Sky & Sea –
will be reborn in a Deluxe Pack with DLC!
Is this a trilogy you'll be adding to your collection? Leave a comment below.

I don't know anything about the games and the trailer didn't show gameplay footage.
Played Ayesha on PS3. Characters and cutscenes were fairly bland but turn based gameplay and customization were solid.
I played all four of the Arland games this year and really loved all of them and I'm currently really looking forward to Atelier Ryza. It's bad for my backlog but I'll absolutely be buying and playing all of these as well.
@Kalmaro Exactly. On one hand you understand why they wouldn't want to show off too much of their 2012 games to newcomers because... it will look old.
But on the other hand it's a "DX" release, they could have shown something to please and hype the fans. "look, we've updated that texture, ooooh"
I really dislike the "teaser for the trailer" for movies and I hope we won't get too much of that for games. Especially re-releases.
Give me collections of the Iris and Khemia games already, those ones are the ones I like the most.
The best Atelier trilogy.
Physical, please!
I hope there will be a Western physical release (perhaps via LRG) of the Arland trilogy too.
I bought all 3 for ps3 2 weeks ago... And they're great... And I will probably buy again. Damn.
I still kind of wished the original tri-pack in JO had English support.
Looks wonky and incomplete.
I would buy them, but most likely they will have an insane price like the arland triology
This will be a insta buy!!
Is it sad that i read this as “altair” from the original Assassin’s creed......
@Kalmaro
It's a very relaxing more classic turn-based RPG series with nice characters and great music. They're basically JRPG-light games: easily completed in 30-40 hours and 40-60 hours for 100%, nice for those of us who have too many 200+ hours RPG's in their collection already xd
Though technically, you could say that to get the full story experience you need to play the entire sub-trilogy and that equates to nearly a 200+ hour RPG anyway lol
I really enjoy these, though it's always best to wait for the inevitable DX releases with all DLC and new stuff included, than go for the vanilla versions (that DLC is VERRRYYYY pricey!!! O.O)
...But is there a physical version? Can't seem to find that info.
@NinjaSyao The thing about I love about these series is the grind. You can get rare items by collecting them in eras you have to explore. And come up with even better result for armour/weapon etc. Love Atelier
I played Shallie a lot on the PS4 with the free trial of Now. It’s a good game.
Ayesha is the only entry in the main series that I played.
It was okay but the slice of life stuff really wasn't that interesting for me, it needs more conflict. The atelier series spinoff Mana Khemia was much better.
Switch is officially taking Vita's torch as the portable Atelier juggernaut. Although Sophie and Firis are still there (I mean, not counting Mana Khemia) and Mysterious DX may not happen with L&S already out separately.
There are just so many great games on or coming to the Switch at this point... One after another, or in this case, several at once.
I'm officially lost. I just bought the first Arland game on PC and haven't had the time to play it, yet here we have three more?! Man, I would be so interested if I had time.
Good at least I didn't have to spend $$$$ for the Japan version of this game.
I'VE BEEN WANTING ATELIER SHALLIE ON SWITCH FOREVER!
@pinta_vodki Yes 3. and they released Lulua to complete Arland series as last title . So you need already to get 4 atelier games to complete the PS3 releases. Atelier Sophies Book should've been on Switch as well. Great game!
No opening beats the OG Atelier Iris Eternal Mana. Wish they'd remake. https://youtu.be/Y_sIFFUje_Q
Someone please tell me how to embed videos.
@neufel Just be patient, I don't get you people who wants things so quick for a game. Just wait for the gameplay trailer later or other gameplay videos from others, so simple.
If you see "teaser trailer", or "story trailer," etc, then expect little to no gameplay in the video...
For me I like all different kinds of trailers for games I am interested in. Gameplay isn't the only thing to be excited for certain games. Especially the Atelier series.
@IceEarthGuard Oh of course I agree.
Maybe I did come up as too impatient in my first message.
My main point is that I always mistake teaser trailers for trailers, and end up disappointed. I felt it was clearer when we used to call those "announcement videos"
