According to CEO Yuichi Sasaki, the delay was made to allow the studio more time to \u201cfurther strengthen its server infrastructure,\u201d following an unexpectedly high number of pre-registrations after the game\u2019s announcement earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RyzaChat: AI is an <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/atelier-ryza-ai-chat-rpg-announced-developers-promise-no-ai-generated-artwork-and-fair-revenue-sharing-with-voice-actors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upcoming AI Chat RPG<\/a> co-developed alongside Koei Tecmo studio Gust. The game\u2019s main draw is its RPG mode, which has you conversing with Reisalin \u201cRyza\u201d Stout to progress through a free-scenario-style story. After completing a short tutorial on Kurken Island, the full world map unlocks, giving you several locations to visit and personalized quests to complete based on your talks with Ryza, including activities like battles, Synthesis, and resource gathering. There is also a Chat mode available, which lets you engage in casual one-on-one conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1060\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818-460908-header-1536x1060-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818-460908-header-1536x1060-1.webp 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818-460908-header-1536x1060-1-380x262.webp 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260818-460908-header-1536x1060-1-768x530.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the release date delay, the livestream also revealed more information about the game. In terms of monetization, RyzaChat: AI adopts a subscription-based model that uses \u201cconversation tokens\u201d and offers multiple tiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RyzaChat: AI was originally set to release on August 18, the same day as the livestream.
