KOEI TECMO GAMES subsidiary GUST has officially unveiled the next entry in the Atelier saga, Atelier Kalia: The Kingdom of Night and the Guiding Star of Remembrance, which carries the series codename A27.
On September 8, 2026, the company released the game's second promotional trailer, detailing its features and setting. The video also dropped a firm release date, confirming the game will launch on February 25, 2027.
Atelier Kalia: The Kingdom of Night and the Guiding Star of Remembrance is the follow-up to its predecessor, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Remembrance and the Land of Illusions, and is an alchemy RPG centered on the theme of "Memory."
Building on the series' signature alchemy and adventure elements, the story revolves around "Kalia" (voiced by Asami Katsuki), a girl who has lost her memories. Players will guide her into the mysterious "Kingdom of Night" on a journey to find her past and the scattered fragments of her memory.
Kalia's most unique ability is that she can gain power by eating various items, analyzing them, and assimilating their properties. This will also cause her appearance and abilities to change.
In addition to unlocking new forms through story progression, cultivating your character by eating might just awaken new styles. Once "Style Change" is unlocked, Kalia can consume specific items in battle to freely switch between more than eight different styles!
"Style Change" dramatically alters both appearance and combat methods. Switching between styles to match the battle situation allows for the use of diverse actions and skills, which are useful not only in combat but also for map exploration. Two styles have been revealed so far:
Flame Style
A style specializing in mid-range fire-attribute attacks. All skills become fire-based, and attack power is increased. While it boasts incredibly high firepower, it comes with the trade-off of lowered defense and an increased weakness to ice-attribute attacks.
Mermaid Style
A style that uses ice magic to control enemies from a distance. All skills become ice-based, and magic damage is boosted. However, physical attack power decreases, and it creates a weakness to fire-attribute attacks.
Additionally, the developers have released information on two new characters.
Noelk (voiced by Shoya Chiba) is an inspector tasked with regulating the use of alchemy, who also happens to be an archaeologist skilled at deciphering ancient texts.
The other new character, Ceres (voiced by Fairouz Ai), is a gentle and elegant swordswoman. However, it seems she also has a somewhat clumsy side that starkly contrasts with her appearance.
A Completely Revamped Alchemy System!
This time, the key synthesis loop is: Gather materials → Synthesize → Battle → And then eat it!
So yes, the protagonist Kalia gets stronger the more she eats XD.
