During last week’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, we got our first glimpse of Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land. Anything explained was vague: it’s an alchemy RPG and a woman dealing with her past and it’s expected to launch in early 2025. Today, publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust released a full trailer for Atelier Yumia:…
Fairy Tail 2’s original launch window was late this year or early next, and I’m thrilled that the release date falls into this calendar year! (I’m just so used to delays.) The RPG sequel to the first Fairy Tail Game (2020), is again based on the popular manga and anime…
