Atelier Marie Remake Trailer Offers Gameplay Introduction

Koei Tecmo released a new trailer for the upcoming Atelier Marie Remake: The Alchemist of Salburg. The three-minute video, in Japanese with English subtitles, gives an introduction to the game’s various elements, including ingredient gathering, synthesis, and turn-based combat, as well as introducing some of its cast.

Atelier Marie was originally released for PlayStation in Japan in 1997 — with versions later released on Sega Saturn, PC, Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation 2, Android, and iOS — and has not previously been released in English. The game follows Marlone (aka Marie), an alchemy student in the city of Salburg, who is given her own workshop and five years to prove herself. The remake will include new 3D graphics, an expanded tutorial with additional gameplay guidance, adjusted mini-game controls, new events, and balance adjustments. It also adds a new Unlimited Mode, which removes the game’s five-year graduation deadline.

Atelier Marie Remake will release for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch on July 13, 2023. A Digital Deluxe Edition also includes a full newly localised port of its earlier Atelier Marie Plus: The Alchemist of Salburg release, which includes additional content originally added in its Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 versions, plus costumes and a background music pack.
