Atelier Marie Remake is getting an English physical release in Asia

Recently Koei Tecmo announced the Atelier Marie Remake is digital-only in the west, which upset some fans. Now we’ve learned an English release is coming, though in Asian regions.

The new English release for the remake is now available for pre-order via our friends at Playasia for $60. While the price is a bit steep – this is a remake of the original alchemy RPG that started it all.

Find a rundown on the game below:

Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg

At the Royal Academy of Magic (the Academy for short), Marie is failing in her attempts to study alchemy. One day, she is given an atelier by her professor as part of a special graduation exam. In order to graduate, Marie must complete an item that will impress her professor.

But first, Marie must strive to improve her alchemy skills, collect ingredients, and earn money to hire adventurers and buy recipes and utensils… Add all of that to the synthesis, battles, and quests she must undertake, and it’s clear that she has a lot to do before she’s ready for her exam!

It’s up to you to choose where to begin! Work hard to graduate from the Academy, but be sure to enjoy yourself along the way.

Updated graphics! Marie and friends brought to life with the latest technology – Character designs and event illustrations have been revamped, and 2D animations have also been introduced in the remake.
