Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Imagination Set to Release Next Week

The much-anticipated follow-up, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land, from KOEI Tecmo America and Gust, is set to hit consoles next week on March 21. Don’t miss the chance to dive into this epic adventure!

"We live each day and weave our memories, nurturing our souls along the way," the game tells us. Journey across a fallen continent to witness the tale of one person’s step towards the future they envision. This time, the central theme revolves around "memory." Everyone must eventually face their past and the memories they hold—those fleeting snapshots of both triumph and setback. Each memory serves as nourishment for the future, shaping who we are.

In Atelier Yumia, we follow Yumia and her allies as they confront their memories and push forward along their chosen paths, despite uncertainties. The narrative unfolds on a continent once home to the prosperous Aladissian Empire. It was a place of incredible advancements fueled by alchemy until an unexpected catastrophe brought it all to ruin. Fast forward several centuries, and alchemy is now shrouded in suspicion, dubbed a "dangerous art" and considered "taboo"—seen as an embodiment of evil.

In this forbidden land, a lone alchemist makes her way: Yumia Reisfelt. Following her mother’s untimely death three years earlier, Yumia discovered her alchemical lineage, sparking a flood of questions. Why did Aladiss collapse? What sparked the shift of alchemy to the forbidden? Is it truly as malevolent as the world claims? Convinced that the answers lie within the continent’s lost history, Yumia sets out to uncover the truth.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land offers the following features:

• Freely explore the expansive open field. Navigate the unknown terrains stretching across the continent, making your own way with a variety of actions and items at your disposal.

• An engaging game cycle. Venture into the field to gather materials and craft essential items. These creations not only propel the storyline but play a critical role in both combat and exploration. Use “Simple Synthesis” to whip up items on the go, and construct your personal base with the “Building” feature.

• Fully customize your items and tailor your base. With “Simple Synthesis,” craft the tools you need directly in the field, aiding exploration and battle. Additionally, the “Building” feature lets you design a base to fit your style, arranging and customizing furniture to your heart’s content.

Get ready to immerse yourself in Atelier Yumia’s world, where memories and alchemy intertwine to create a compelling narrative waiting to be explored.
