The final chapter of Ryza’s story follows fan-favorite alchemist, Reisalin Stout, and her mischievous friends on their third summer adventure, set a year after the events of 2021’s Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy.

In Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key, lead writer Yashichiro Takahashi, who delivered the script for the original Atelier Ryza game, returns to the franchise to deliver an unforgettable third chapter in the Secret series. The latest summer escapade finds Ryza and friends enjoying their peaceful lives on Kurken Island when they hear news that a mysterious group of islands have appeared in nearby waters. It turns out that these islands, known as Kark Isles, are having a negative effect on their homeland, so Ryza and her friends quickly set out to investigate. But when their investigation leads to an enormous gate deep within strange ruins, Ryza hears a haunting voice in her head that wants to lead her to the ‘Code of the Universe’. Who is talking to her and what lies beyond the gate?

While uncovering the mysteries of Kark Isles, Ryza and her friends will explore four regions in a new “open field” – all explorable with seamless transitions! As players travel through these beautiful and vast sprawling landscapes and vistas, they will find mysterious keys that will aid them on their adventure. There are various types of keys that can be found and created, useful for exploration, synthesis and battle. Each key has a different effect, so players will want to try experimenting with them as the keys to unlocking the island’s secrets are now in your hands.

In addition, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key reunites players with characters from previous games, as well as making new friends pivotal to the story! A total of eleven party members will be featured in this latest entry, one of the largest rosters in series history! Returning for the third summer adventure is the reliable and friendly Ryza, the intelligent and hard-working Klaudia, the devoted ruins researcher Tao, and the humble and sincere Lent – with more characters to be announced in the coming months.

Koei Tecmo and developer GUST Studios revealed that Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key has gone gold and opened up pre-orders.

To help celebrate, Koei Tecmo also released an exciting new trailer featuring the ending theme performed by suis, the vocalist of the band Yorushika.

Says suis: “I am a novice at this adventure, but have been asked to play a major role with the end song, having the opportunity to sing a wonderful song that will warm everyone’s hearts for all the paths we have taken. I am looking forward to seeing how the song will reach your hearts in this final summer, at the end of this adventure!”
