Just over a month since the release of Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key, Koei Tecmo and the game’s producer have made the difficult decision to delay the title. Instead of February, it will now arrive on Switch on March 24, 2023.
A message from game producer Junzo Hosoi explained that the game needs “additional time to fine-tune” the final details. Here’s the message in full, via Gematsu:
We apologize for this delay to everyone who has been eagerly anticipating the release Atelier Ryza 3.
In order to make this game a fitting finale for Ryza and her friends, we took on challenges such as adventures in a vast open field and graphics that express the charm of these characters to the fullest extent.
Our team will take this extra time to fine-tune the final details so that we can deliver to all of you who follow the series the best possible experience in this culmination of the adventures of Ryza and her friends.
We’re making the game even better to make it worth the wait, so we appreciate your patience just a little longer until the game’s release.
—Junzo Hosoi, producer
