Koei Tecmo and Gust have recently been hard at work, making sure that fans of the Atelier saga are properly informed ahead of the release of their newest installment, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy. While the PS5 version won't be getting a physical release, that hasn't stopped creators from reassuring players that the quality will be present on all versions of the game.
With the game coming early next year, the clock is ticking before it is time to solve another mystery in the beautiful fantasy world. Recently, the Koei Tecmo America Youtube channel took the initiative to give fans a look at what to expect with the new game.
The first video that was showcased was the theme song of the game titled "Somewhen, Somewhere…" by Clammbon. Gameplay was also shown in the second video, which was a live event. The gameplay can be seen in two parts, with the first starting from 26:07 to 31:26 and the second starting from 32:20 to 36:48.
This new game looks to stack even more fun than what was had in the first installment, and next year can't seem to come fast enough! We would love to hear your thoughts on the new videos in the comments below!

Gameplay:
Throughout her journey, Ryza will once again be joined by her fun-loving group of mischievous friends. The first of these old companions confirmed for Ryza 2 is Klaudia. The only daughter of a merchant family, Klaudia has been working in the Royal Capital, but all the while, thinking back to the adventure she had with Ryza three years prior. Klaudia still has the desire to live a more exciting life, and now finds her fate once again intertwined with Ryza as they regroup inside the Royal Capital. Also joining Ryza this time around is a mysterious creature known as Fi. The creature doesn't speak, but is very expressive and full of emotion, bonding quickly with Ryza while helping her seek answers to the true meaning of the lost legends.
