Gust has confirmed its mysterious "Project A14" game to be the next entry in the Atelier series. The game is due for release in June, on PlayStation 3. "Gust" is listed as the game's publisher (in case you were expecting Tecmo Koei to be publisher, since Tecmo Koei now owns Gust).

A few teaser details were shared at the Dengeki Games Festa event in Akihabara today. The game is not part of the Arland series, which included the previous three Atelier Rorona, Totori and Meruru games. It will have a new character designer. At the event, director Yoshito Okamura promised that the new character designer will deliver some charming illustrations, but he did not share the designer's name.

The game's main character, shown at the event in silhouette form, will be voiced by Marina Inoue. She delivered a video message at the event. In attendance at the event next to Okamura was voice actress Mariya Ise. She will have the role of the main character's sister. The sister relationship will be a major part of the game.

The theme of the new Atelier game is "The Promise Begins." There are many meanings to this theme. Explained Okamura, these include "The promise between the main character and her sister, and the promise that the developers will offer something interesting to the players."

Details on Project A14 will be announced on March 29. The issue of Dengeki PlayStation that's due out on that day will have the details. The magazine will also include the Gust Secret Book that was handed out to attendees of the event. This includes a product code with a custom theme for Project A14 and a PlayView presentation for your PS3 and PSP showing Surge Concerto and Project A14.

Kool.

great i need my rpg fix

4 Atelier games in one gen, that's quite an effort.

That's great to hear, I was a bit worried that things had drastically changed with their buyout from Tecmo when they announced that strange game for Vita, but this is more the kind of thing that makes them one of my favorite developers.

I'm in. I have to setup my Pre-Order for the Atelier Meruru C.E. from NISA.

I really have the feeling that you are one of the person will enjoy hearing it. Can't wait for march 29 with full reveal of the new atelier.

Wow, that kinda funny. I thought this thread would be about Meruru coming to the US around the same time.

Looking forward to more from Gust.

I'm really curious what the Tecmo buyout means since this title is apparently self-publshed by Gust again.  Maybe it just affects Western publishing.  I'm trying to get in contact with someone from NISA to find out, but they'll probably just tell me they don't know.  Worth trying regarldess though.

Better release schedules for everywhere other than NA and JP seem likely if Tecmo really starts handling the localizations, and maybe outside of Japan they'll be on multiple platforms with Tecmo funding some other company to port it.  I don't see Gust changing what's been working extremely well for them in Japan and doing the multiple platforms themselves, but you never know.
