Yesterday KOEI Tecmo announced that Gust’s newest Atelier JRPG; Nelke & The Legendary Alchemists ~Ateliers of the New World~ will be coming West sometime this Winter 2018. The game will be releasing for the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

You can find the press release attached below about the game and we will have a game page set up for the title very soon! So stay tuned for more content from us!

KOEI TECMO Europe revealed today that GUST Studio’s latest title, Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World, will be released throughout the west this Winter. Slated for physical release on the PlayStation®4 Computer Entertainment System and Nintendo Switch™, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam®, this new title set in the Atelier universe celebrates the series’ 20th Anniversary; allowing players to experience the beloved series’ characters with an exciting new town building focus.

Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World puts players in the shoes of Nelke von Lestamm, a young noblewoman who has always been fascinated by the ancient legend of the Sage of Granzweit; a tale of the Granzweit Tree which is said to bestow great power upon those who discover it. As she grew up and learned her skills were not in alchemy, she studied hard to become a government official and help those around her. The day Nelke is set to graduate the academy, however, her life changes forever as she hears a rumour that the tree can be found within her father’s lands near the small village of Westwald. Her father grants her permission to search for it on one condition – that she becomes governor of the area and develops Westwald into a prosperous city.

As players work hard to build Westwald up from a quaint village to a flourishing city, they will require the aid of the many alchemists that settle in the town. Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World features famous alchemists from previous entries across the Atelier series, including those from the Salburg, Arland, Dusk, and Mysterious trilogies!

The second of several upcoming DLC characters for Square-Enix and Team Ninja’s 3v3 fighter Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT is out now to purchase! It is Locke Cole, the crafty thief from Final Fantasy VI.

Locke’s gameplay focus is using stealth and being able to steal from his opponents. While also wielding a slick dagger to assist in his deeds. He is certainly a nice addition to an already padded out fighting game roster.

If you purchased the Season Pass you’ll be able to download him for free, or if not you can purchase him individually just like you could with the Vayne Carudas Solidor DLC back in late April. We should have information on the next DLC character hopefully in the near future, so stay tuned for more!

Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT is out now exclusively for Playstation 4. You can find Locke Cole’s launch trailer attached below!

Some more news has dropped this week for Omega Force’s upcoming collaboration action hit Warriors Orochi 4, in that the first revealed character to fight alongside the antagonist Zeus will be Athena the Goddess of Wisdom and War (pictured above).

We hope to have more information on her role in the game along with movesets and weapons, however it looks like she will be making good use of those wings of hers.

In other news with Warriors Orochi 4, we have a bit of information in regards to the Nintendo Switch port of the game (along with a slick looking gameplay trailer on the hardware). Producer Masaki Furusawa has confirmed that they are shooting for 1080p docked and 720p in handheld, with both versions running at that buttery smooth 60FPS. So on the TV or on the go, your Warriors experience should feel seamless.

Attached below you can find the Nintendo Switch gameplay trailer! Warriors Orochi 4 will be releasing October 16th in US and October 19th in Europe for PS4, XB1, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

What are your thoughts on Warriors Orochi 4? Who do you want to see added for Zeus’ side? Have you decided on what platform to get it for? Let us know in the comments!

The next instalment to Gust’s Atelier JRPG series is something of quite a delight. Now with the Mysterious trilogy arc over with, Gust intend to take it’s next official title into a slightly different direction.

Named Nercke & the Legendary Alchemists: Atelier of a New Land (that’s a mouthful!), you’ll play as the titular character Nercke, whom isn’t an alchemist like all prior protagonists. Instead this game will feature an “All-star” line-up of characters from numerous previous Atelier titles. The game will also be foregoing it’s usual Alchemy based JRPG shennanigans and including a brand new Town Building sim mechanic.

More information on the title will be shown at the Atelier Special Broadcast hosting on July 10th. The game will be releasing for Playstation 4, Playstation Vita and Nintendo Switch this year in Japan. No news on any form of Western localisation however we bet this will be one for 2019.

What do you think of this game? Would you like to see it make it’s way westward? Let us know in the comments!

Warriors Orochi 4 coming out West this October!

Warriors Orochi 4, KOEI Tecmo’s next instalment to the collaboration series of Dynasty Warriors (up to 8 Empires) and Samurai Warriors (up to 4-II) will be arriving later this year. While it will be coming out in Japan this September we now know that the game will be making it’s way to the West this October! October 16th for the US and October 19th for Europe.

The game is returning to it’s roots, cutting out all previous guest characters, however that still leaves 170 unique characters to play as. Also the game brings back split-screen Co-Op play which was heavily demanded in the recent Dynasty Warriors 9 game.

Along with this, it’ll be a heavy focus on Greek Mythology with Zeus himself leading the antagonist’s band of warriors, though with his glorious beard shaved off – we assume due to the heat – and godly powers.

The game will be releasing for Playstation 4, XBOX One (Western territories only), Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

Will you be picking up this delightful game this October? Let us know in the comments!
