The Atelier series has grown in popularity here in the west in recent years, and now in addition to the upcoming release of Atelier Ryza 3 later this month, Koei Tecmo will also launch a remake of Atelier Marie on Switch this July.
If the return of the original game from 1997 wasn’t already exciting enough, now a bonus game has been revealed Atelier Marie More (included in the Digital Deluxe Edition) will feature full English subtitles. This game was originally exclusive to Japan, so this translation will make it even more accessible.
As explained by Siliconera, the ‘Plus’ version of Atelier Marie – released a year later – contained some “extra elements”.
Here’s a little more about the full remake from Koei Tecmo:
I’m done saving the world!
