As a long-time follower of the Atelier franchise, I must say that the latest announcement from Koei Tecmo has me truly excited! Being a dedicated collector and gamer, the prospect of two special physical collector’s editions for Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land is simply irresistible.


Koei Tecmo has just made it possible to pre-order the latest addition, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land (the 26th installment in the Atelier series), as they’ve officially announced its availability for pre-orders.

As a researcher, I’m excited to share that Koei Tecmo has unveiled some exciting additions! Apart from the standard edition (available in both physical and digital formats), they are offering two special collector’s editions exclusively on their Europe store page. Additionally, for those who purchase the game within two weeks of its launch on March 21, 2025, there will be free DLC up for grabs!

Here’s what you need to know about these special editions and DLC.

Atelier Yumia Premium Box edition contents

The first special edition announced is the Premium Box edition which will contain the following:

  • A physical copy of Atelier Yumia.
  • An Atelier Yumia artbook,
  • A B3-size cloth poster with original illustration,
  • An Atelier Yumia CD titled “Extra Tracks”.
  • Early access to a cosmetic DLC costume for Yumia called “Alchemist on her day off”.

The “Special Collection Box,” our second limited release, will not only include everything from the Premium Box Edition but also some additional goodies:

  • A handkerchief made in the style of the Aladiss Research Team’s bandana found in the game.
  • An A1-Size tapestry with original illustration.
  • A set of six decorative acrylic keychains
  • A set of six special clear file folders
  • A special sticker sheet
  • A real-life version of Yumia’s precious stuffed animal
  • An official short story booklet
  • An official short story translation booklet

Currently, the free DLC being discussed is an early release featuring two cosmetic costumes: “Yumia’s Memory Athlete” and “Flammi’s Floating Memory Object”. Additionally, there’s a training accessory called the “Training Wrist Weight” included.

To get these items, you need to buy either a physical or digital version of Atelier Yumia within two weeks following its release on March 21, 2025. The special editions and DLC will be accessible for both PlayStation and Xbox versions of Atelier Yumia. The Premium Box costs £66.66, while the Special Collection Box is priced at £137.49.

I’m sorry to say that the limited editions won’t be very useful for U.S. players as they come with the European (PAL) versions of Atelier Yumia instead of the American (NTSC) ones. But, rest assured, you can still acquire the free DLC when the game becomes available in the United States.

Are you ready to become a miraculous alchemist when Atelier Yumia arrives in 2025?

In simple terms, Atelier Yumia is the newest addition to the Atelier series, a collection of humorous Japanese Role-Playing Games (JRPGs). As an alchemist, you embark on enchanting journeys in this game, creating various potions and devices. Announced in September 2024, Atelier Yumia is designed to attract new fans with its deeper storyline revolving around ancient mysteries, vibrant characters, engaging real-time combat, and an advancement of the franchise’s signature alchemy and crafting mechanics.

Atelier Yumia marks the franchise’s initial entry into Xbox gaming platforms, with releases on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. This places it in a prime spot to attract even more followers to the series. Yet, given the intense rivalry from established titles like Atlus’ Persona series, Metaphor ReFantazio, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and the upcoming remake of Dragon Quest 3 – just to mention a few – Atelier Yumia will need to put in considerable effort to distinguish itself.

Will the forthcoming Xbox game and PC game entitled Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land manage to attract a fresh group of Atelier enthusiasts and rank among the top Xbox RPGs when it debuts on March 28, 2025? Embark on an exciting journey alongside the game’s protagonist, Yumia, as you unravel mysteries and discover truths in this title that will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
