Second Tales of x Atelier Collaboration

On the other hand, Atelier Sophie 2 players got a Tales of Arise Collaboration Accessories set, including Alphen’s Iron Mask.
Atelier Series’ Long History
The Atelier series may be familiar to a lot of gamers in passing, especially with its signature "Atelier" present in the games’ titles. With its 27-year-long history since its first release, Atelier Marie: The Alchemist of Salburg, in 1997, the Atelier series by the Gust Corporation continues to thrive, boasting over 27 main games and a large number of side games, remakes, and ports, as well as manga and anime adaptations.
The franchise is known for its central concept of being an alchemist with their very own atelier, where players will find, collect, and combine ingredients to make even better items. As the protagonist alchemist hones her (as most, if not all, the main characters across the titles are female) skills, she gets access to more complex recipes that help her advance through the game.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is the 26th main entry in the series that is slated for release later this March 13th, and will follow the tale of Yumia Liessfeldt, who lives in world where alchemy has been touted as a dangerous art that brings forth destruction. Yumia learns that she hails from a line of alchemists, and thus begins her journey to find the answers to her many questions.
The game will then be followed by the 27th installment, Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian in the latter half of 2025.
