Update: Now that more information is available, we’ve updated our report. The game is titled Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky. You can read more about the game here.

 

Dengeki PlayStation revealed the next entry in the Atelier series, Atelier Escha & Logy: The Alchemists of the Sky and Dusk. There are two Alchemists in the title because this Atelier game has two playable characters and two side of the story to see. You get to select who the protagonist is.

 

Another interesting surprise is Atelier Escha & Logy uses the Warriors series LTGL engine. Gust was acquired by Tecmo Koei and while we’ve seen Gust staff work with Omega Force, this is the first tech sharing between the two companies. Battles can support up to six characters now with switchable party members in the front and rear row.

 

This part isn’t clear, but buyers at launch might get Mana Khemia 2 as a bonus. Mana Khemia 2 is a PlayStation 2 game that has not been released for Game Archives or PS2 Classics.

 

Atelier Escha & Logy: The Alchemists of the Sky and Dusk is in development for PlayStation 3 and slated for release on June 27.
