Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key has been delayed, but thankfully the wait won’t be terribly long.
The RPG will now land on Switch and other platforms on March 24, 2023 (Japan will be getting it one day earlier). It was previously planned for February 22 in Japan and February 24 in North America and Europe.
In a statement, producer Junzo Hosoi said that Gust will be using the extra time to “fine-tune the final touches”. We have his full message below.
We apologize for this delay to everyone who has been looking forward to the release of Atelier Ryza 3.
In order to make this game a fitting finale for Ryza and her friends, we have taken on challenges such as adventuring in a vast open field and graphics that express the charm of these characters to the fullest extent.
Our team will take this additional time to fine-tune the final touches so that we can deliver to all of you who have been following the series for the best possible eperience in this culmination of Ryza and her friend’s adventures.
We are making the game even better to make it worth your wait, so we appreciate your patienence for just a little bit more until the game’s release.
