In addition to similar collections offered for their original PlayStation 3 editions of both the Disgaea and Hyperdimension Neptunia video game franchises, Nippon Ichi Software America also released ‘The Arland Atelier Trilogy’ in PAL regions several months ago. Although lacking any of the content introduced in each respective title’s ‘Plus’ enhanced port (Which was brought to Western markets by Koei Tecmo), this set allowed players to enjoy Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland as they were originally many years ago.
Following this set being available exclusively in European markets for some time now, Nippon Ichi Software America have confirmed that ‘The Arland Atelier Trilogy’ will be available for purchase in North America beginning October 13 2015.
