The Atelier series is heading underground. KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust unveiled a new story trailer today for Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories, sending amnesiac alchemist Karia and her companions into Noctrem, the ancient subterranean world beneath Aladiss, ahead of a February 25, 2027 launch.

Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust invite fans to join Karia and her companions in Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories as they embark on an adventure into the ancient subterranean world of Noctrem. A brand-new story trailer showcasing Karia’s journey into this vast, mysterious underworld and the challenges that await her has also been released. Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories is currently in development and is scheduled to release Feb. 25, 2027 on Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, Windows PC via Steam® and XBOX Series X|S.

In Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories, players will join Karia, an amnesiac alchemist, and her team as they investigate Noctrem, the underworld of the continent of Aladiss. During their investigation of the mana withering, they are guided by Ernest, a hard-working automaton and the guardian of an underground atelier, who informs Karia about the ancient legends of the subterranean world. Along her journey, Karia will encounter obstacles in the form of new fearsome foes Crave Fortis, a masked alchemist with an unknown purpose; and the outwardly composed Lyvel Ventus, a blade-legged alchemist who, despite her cool demeanour, is quick to lose her temper. These two opponents are guarding a colossal enemy that appears to be the source of the spreading mana withering. Players will also meet some friendlier faces during their adventure to uncover the secrets of Noctrem including Signa, a young man who seeks revenge against the creature that destroyed his hometown, and Viktor von Duerer, a dependable knight who serves as the commander of the Aladiss Pioneering Team.

As Karia explores Noctrem, players will be able to set up bases across the field. Sub-bases and relay bases are scattered across each region, which connects them to their larger main base, strengthening and allowing them to pioneer uncharted land. As more sub-bases and relay bases are unlocked, players will gain access to blueprints for new furniture while also increasing the maximum furniture placement cost, and grant bonus effects that will be useful for both combat and exploration.

Fans can look forward to arranging furniture to create their ideal bases throughout the continent and will also be able to build easily by utilizing the catalog. While some furniture serves a purely aesthetic purpose, Feature Modules are pieces of décor that will aid players during their adventure. For example, by placing a Monster Statue in their base, players will benefit from increased item drop rates when defeating monsters of the same kind as the statue. In addition, the Rotisserie will enable players to gather meat-related items, while the Ingredient Collector will gather materials at regular intervals depending on where it is placed.

In Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories, players will be able to deepen the bond between Karia’s travelling party by sharing delicious Group Meals. By cooking in the atelier’s kitchen, players will have the chance to occasionally boost friendship and gain certain perks. For example, sharing a member’s favorite dish with them will grant a friendship bonus, and certain dishes may grant special effects such as stat boosts or quality boosts while gathering materials. As a result of raising friendship between companions, players will unlock special chatting events that take place during the party’s downtime in the night. By strengthening bonds with party members throughout the story, fans can also unlock individual character endings if their bond to each respective character is close enough.

Fans can prepare to embark on a journey to rediscover Karia’s lost past by pre-ordering the standard edition in physical and digital formats. Players can now also pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the base game, the “Colorful Collection costume set”*, and the exclusive equipment, “Snack Band”*.

Anyone who pre-orders the digital standard edition or Digital Deluxe Edition by Feb. 24, 2027 will receive the pre-order bonus** “Special Emote” pose and the “Noctrem’s Nature” photo frame to use in Photo Mode.

Anyone who purchases the game in digital or physical format by March 10, 2027 will receive the early purchase bonus*** “Noctrem Pioneering Preparation Set”*, which is comprised of a special costume for Karia as well as the exclusive “Training Badge” equipment.

Additionally, those who purchase the physical edition will enjoy the physical edition special bonus, an exclusive reversible slipcover artwork illustrated by Atelier Karia character designer Benitama (please note that the physical edition special bonus is not available digitally).

All players with existing Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land save data will receive the Atelier Yumia costume set as a save data bonus (saved data must be stored on the same console used to play Atelier Karia).

In addition to the standard edition of the game, a special physical edition of Atelier Karia: The Night Kingdom & the Guide of Memories is now available for pre-order exclusively through the NIS America store.
