Tecmo Koei has confirmed Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Twilight Land, known as Atelier Ayesha: Alchemist of the Ground of Dusk in Japan, will come to PlayStation 3 in Europe during the first quarter of 2013.

The news comes from a Tecmo Koei presentation in Europe today. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus, announced for PS Vita at E3, has also been confirmed for the first quarter of 2013 in Europe.

Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 will launch in Europe for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2013. The Wii U version release date is still to be confirmed. The game, according to Tecmo Koei Europe community manager Chin Soon Sun, “will offer a linear story-based plotline from the 1st to 2nd chapter, to the Land of Asura, Lin and Bat.”

Thanks, The Silent Chief.

      This is the fourth Atelier game to come out on PlayStation 3. The first one, Atelier Rorona, was released for Japan in 2009.

      So pretty much, yeah. 2009, Rorona, 2010, Totori, 2011, Meruru, and 2012, Ayesha. This is Japan time. We always get it a year later.

         Atelier Annie is after Rorona, so 5 games in 3 years is correct. And Gust is also making other stuff on the side.

      This game is unrelated to previous 3 games of Arland though.

    My only question at the moment is who will handle the localization though? Techmo Koei or NISA?

  • vertical09

    Finally. This game is way overdue =P 

    Don’t know what to think about TK bringing it over though >_> I liked how NISA handled their games. With TK….we might not even get a dub or physical release….

  • zakou
