Koei Tecmo Officially Announces Atelier Sophie 2, Arriving On Switch Next February

Koei Tecmo and Gust have officially announced the RPG Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream for the Nintendo Switch and multiple other platforms. It will receive a western release next year on 25th February 2022.

This is the same title that was previously “leaked” by the Australian Classification Board last month and is a follow up to Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book.

Here’s a bit more about what to expect:

Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream continues the story of Sophie and Plachta’s many adventures. After leaving Sophie’s hometown of Kirchen Bell, the pair discovers a huge tree identical to one that Plachta had seen in a dream, and as they get closer, a mysterious vortex pulls them inside. Sophie awakens alone in a curious new world called Erde Wiege, and it’s not long before she hears about an alchemist named Plachta that lives on the outskirts of town. Shockingly, when Sophie arrives at the atelier, she meets a young alchemy enthusiast named Plachta, and even though the alchemist shares the same name as her friend, she doesn’t recognize Sophie. What other surprises await Sophie on this journey? As the adventure continues, Sophie meets aspiring alchemist, Ramizel Erlenmeyer, who willingly agrees to help her in her time of need. The narrative elegantly unfolds with a charming new visual style that combines the art of the Mysterious sub-series with the high-quality graphics and animations featured in 2021’s Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends and the Secret Fairy.

On her journey to find her missing friend, Sophie will have to fight the many monsters that inhabit the lands of Erde Wiege. As soon as players encounter an enemy in the field, the battle begins instantly without any load times or separate screens – a series first – allowing battles to flow seamlessly. In addition, battle parties now consist of six members, with three in the front and three in the back, to form two teams that co-operate in multi-linked turn-based battles. This new battle system opens up a wide range of exciting combat strategies that players can utilise to take out their foes.

As featured in the trailer, there’ll be a limited edition release – it includes the game, a download code for a costume, soundtrack, art book, key chain necklace and poster. Pre-orders are up on NIS America’s website.
