Atelier Lulua dated in Japan, and the first trailer is here!

Gust and Koei Tecmo, AKA our developing-publishing dream team, have announced when those in Japan can travel back to the familiar land of Arland. Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland will be available for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on March 20, 2019. And there’s finally a trailer!

Lulua is Rorona’s daughter, trying to surpass her mother’s alchemy skills. She finds a book titled “Alchemy Riddles” which only she can read, and while difficult she knows she must decipher it. Lulua doesn’t have an Atelier of her own; instead, she uses her teacher’s covered carriage.

For the Western world, we can expect the game sometime in “spring” 2019, so likely between March and June. For North America and Europe, the game will also be available for PC at launch.

The game borrows its aesthetics for storybooks and puts a heavy focus on music. The player takes on the role of The Little Firefly, tastes to seek The Mother sleeping deep within the forest. Little Firefly music solve challenges and puzzles to delve deeper into the forest.

Developed by Mojiken Studio out of Surabaya, Indonesia, She and the Light Bearer has already won awards, including Best Kids and Family Game in Indie Prize Asia 2017 and this year’s SEA Game Award for Best Visual Arts.

The game is titled Project Europa, and its story begins as a distress signal is sent from Europa, Jupiter’s second moon.

We also know that the developer plans on using their previous experience with Starly Girls to push forward in the evolution of game design. That’s a big promise, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled to see if it pans out.
