Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust have begun selling an Atelier Ryza art collection in Japan. The collection consists of premium art prints from the Atelier Ryza games, also known as the “Secret” series. The sale is part of the companies’ ongoing 25th Anniversary celebration of the Atelier series as a whole [Thanks, Denfaminico Gamer!].
The Atelier Ryza art collection features high-quality, framed art prints. There are a total of six pieces to acquire: Two from Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout, three from Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy, and one from the upcoming Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & The Secret Key. Each piece comes with its own frame and a small plaque with the piece’s name and the game it’s from. All cost 20,000 Yen each (about $154 USD).
Other items from both Ryza and other Atelier games are available on the special online storefront alongside the Atelier Ryza art collection. There’s a line of B5-size acrylic art plates, each going for 4,900 Yen (about $38 USD). The line has two more pieces from Ryza, but also two from Atelier Sophie 2: Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream. A set of three clear files also features characters from Atelier Ryza 3 for 1,200 Yen (about $9 USD).
Finally, those interested in a fuller accounting of the Atelier franchise can pick up a chibi acrylic standee. Each standee costs 800 Yen (about $6 USD) and renders a protagonist or major character from the franchise in chibi style. There are 30 standees in total, and the whole set can be acquired in two boxes, each costing 11,999 Yen (about $93 USD).
The Atelier Ryza art collection and other franchise items for the 25th Anniversary celebration are on sale in Japan through this special storefront. They’ll be sold there until February 19, 2023. On February 25, 2023, the collection will be shown and sold at a pop-up store in Shibuya’s PARCO department store. Mail-ordered products will ship at the end of March 2023.
Following an announced delay, Atelier Ryza 3 will release on PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch globally on March 24, 2023.
