Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack arrives in November

Available in Switch- and Switch 2-specific concoctions

KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust recently unveiled plans for DX versions of the games that comprise the Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy. We now know that Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack, “the definitive version of Ryza’s summer adventures,” will arrive on Switch and Switch 2 on Nov. 13.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack will reintroduce fans to the summer adventures of fan-favorite alchemist Reisalin Stout and her friends in a collection featuring all three titles from the “Secret” series, which sold over 2.5 million units worldwide. The Deluxe Pack will include new content for each title, such as new playable characters, each with new character stills designed by artist Toridamono, and new story episodes written by Yashichiro Takahashi, scenario writer of the “Secret” series.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what fans can expect from the DX version of each game in the trilogy:

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX:

• New playable characters including Agatha, Kilo and Romy.
• New events happening in parallel with the main storyline, such as the encounter of Kilo and Bos in the Underworld.
• New events that took place between Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX and Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX.

Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX:

• Empel and Lila will now be playable characters.
• A new episode in which these two companions meet Ryza at the capital to help her in her journey as she explores a new map.

Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX:

• New companions.
• Play as new characters from Atelier Ryza and Atelier Ryza 2, such as Clifford, Serri, and Kilo.
• New side story following Clifford and Serri after their separation from Ryza. The two will team up and embark on a journey to help each other achieve their own goals.
• New event that delves deeper into the relationship between Kilo and Bos.
• Explore a new island and its mysterious ruins.

In addition to the game-specific additions, all entries will receive quality-of-life improvements and new features, including the addition of a “Custom Combat” mode in which they will be able to choose the level and combination of monsters they want to face.

In Atelier Ryza 2, Fi will follow and support Ryza as she explores ruins, helping her find clues, or restoring a small amount of the party members’ health in battles. Atelier Ryza 3 will introduce a new mount, the “Wind Beast”, which automatically gathers ingredients during exploration.

Previously provided free and paid DLC items for all three games—such as swimsuit costumes, maps, recipes, and more—will be available as part of the Deluxe Packs. Finally, those with saved game data for any of the three Atelier Ryza original releases will receive exclusive bonus items.

There’s also no word on a physical release, but it does look like the DX versions will be available for individual purchase.
