The small but tightly knit Atelier subreddit has not exactly welcomed the impending gacha game with open arms. By comparison, Resleriana has thus far been perceived as a dramatic comedown. The point is, Ryza was seen as a new high for Atelier, and it was further aided by the recent and solid remake, and first official Western release, of the Atelier game that started it all. I'm willing to bet that this is at least part of the reason the reveal stream, which was positioned as a presentation for the series' next big release, currently has nearly three times more dislikes than likes on YouTube, but I reckon the rabbit hole goes deeper. Gameplay shown during the reveal and on the game's website indicates that Atelier Resleriana will incorporate many gacha game practices, including a progress-gating stamina system and premium currency microtransactions. This news was delivered earlier today via a 70-minute stream on Koei Tecmo's Japanese YouTube channel, and it's worth noting that the game itself is also limited to Japan for the time being, though a global release isn't out of the question. Despite being handled by another studio, Akatsuki Games, it's being treated as a mainline game, as evidenced by the 'Project A25' label at the start of the trailer.

The next game in the series is officially Atelier Resleriana, coming to iOS, Android, and PC later this year, starring new character Resna.
