Nippon Ichi Software America have today announced that their PlayStation 3 exclusive “The Arland Atelier Trilogy” is now available in select European markets as a retail-only collection. While all three games have since been updated with enhanced “Plus” edition features for the PlayStation Vita and/or PlayStation 3 by Koei Tecmo Games Europe, this features the original editions of Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland and Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland on one disc. All three were originally localized and published by Nippon Ichi Software America in the early 2010’s.
Those in Australia and New Zealand may be disappointed to know that unlike most of NIS America’s European releases, there are no confirmed plans to release The Arland Atelier Trilogy through retailers or the PlayStation Store.
Information on all three games can be found below:
Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland
Rorona must prove to a knight of Arland that the alchemy workshop she works for can function in the city’s economy, and is required to pass several examinations to assess the workshops ability. Guide Rorona and explore dungeons for key ingredients, craft new items, and battle enemies using the power of alchemy!
Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland
Atelier Totori follows the story of a new alchemist and her travels around Arland several years after the events of Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland. Guide Totori on her journey exploring the world, help improve her alchemy, and search for her long-lost mother all while enjoying the in-depth synthesis and battle systems!
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
Atelier Meruru follows the story of spunky Princess Meruru, who finds herself entranced by alchemy and vows to become Totori Helmold’s apprentice. With new and updated game systems and returning characters from Atelier Rorona and Atelier Totori, Atelier Meruru will once again capture the hearts and minds of all the Atelier fans out there.
