We learned last month that Atelier Ryza sales reached 350,000. Koei Tecmo and Gust made the official announcement along with a commemorative piece of artwork.
Check out the full illustration by Atelier Ryza character designer Toridamono along with a message from the team:
“[#Ryza Achieves 350,000!!]
Atelier Ryza reached 350,000 in worldwide shipments. We are truly happy that so many of you got to play it.
Your comments and support will always keep us going.
Please continue looking after Ryza and the others!”
We previously mentioned that Atelier Sophie is currently the series’ best-seller with 370,000 units. It likely won’t take long for Atelier Ryza to become the best Atelier, in terms of sales figures, if it hasn’t already.
In Japan, the game saw the best launch in franchise history with over 150,000 units sold in its debut. Koei Tecmo shared at the time that pre-orders outside of Japan have also been strong.
Here’s more about the game from Koei Tecmo:
The concept of this title, the latest in the series to depict a new “Atelier” world, is “True-to-life youths that develop together, even if just a little bit”.
It is the story of a girl and her friends who are about to become adults, discovering what is most important to them.To depict the story of the main characters discovering things they’ve never seen before, we’ve created fields with natural shadows that allow you to feel the breath of the world. Graphics have been further enhanced, allowing for a world of daily-life and adventure to be depicted in a new way.
Atelier Ryza is available worldwide on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Update: Atelier Arland Trilogy character designer Kishida Mel has released congratulatory artwork of his own:
