The game got off to a rocky start, as there was some controversy surrounding its initial paid gacha system. A set of 10 pulls was priced at roughly 6000 yen (about $40 USD at the time), drawing criticism from players \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20231008-267506\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20231008-267506\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which prompted Koei Tecmo to revise the pricing<\/a> almost immediately. On the other hand, Atelier Resleriana was positively received among fans, especially due to its wide cast of characters (which include many of the beloved alchemists from past titles), as well as its story spanning over 30 chapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3010\u91cd\u8981\u306a\u304a\u77e5\u3089\u305b(2\/2)\u3011<br><br>\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u5185\u306b\u3066\u3001\u958b\u767a\u30c1\u30fc\u30e0\u304b\u3089\u306e\u304a\u624b\u7d19\u3092\u516c\u958b\u3057\u3066\u304a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<br><br>\u305c\u3072\u3001\u3054\u4e00\u8aad\u3044\u305f\u3060\u3051\u307e\u3059\u3068\u5e78\u3044\u3067\u3059\u3002<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC%E3%83%AA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30ec\u30b9\u30ec\u30ea<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dXjzghSjU5\">pic.twitter.com\/dXjzghSjU5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30ec\u30b9\u30ec\u30ea\u30a2\u30fc\u30ca\u306e\u30a2\u30c8\u30ea\u30a8 (@Atelier_Resleri) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Atelier_Resleri\/status\/2092811417405784157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 27, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the \u201cLetter from the Development Team,\u201d Koei Tecmo ultimately decided to shut down the game as \u201cit would be difficult to continue providing a service that would satisfy users.\u201d On a brighter note, the 33rd chapter, depicting Resna and her companions as they reached the End of the Continent, was also added to the game, with a special anniversary website scheduled to launch on September 23 alongside a new story chapter not covered in the main game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koei Tecmo decided to shut down Atelier Resleriana as \u201cit would be difficult to continue providing a service that would satisfy users.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":71544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","autoblue_enabled":true,"autoblue_custom_message":"","autoblue_shares":[{"did":"did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2","date":"2026-08-27T05:14:03+00:00","uri":"at:\/\/did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mu23ns2bg42j","response":"{\"uri\":\"at:\/\/did:plc:uzrrhkfyjrfdsynj2voztcf2\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mu23ns2bg42j\",\"cid\":\"bafyreiev34x75ybuldmgfp5oxqdqikpcx5zaj4d5lxntzt4cnvyrrxsnja\",\"commit\":{\"cid\":\"bafyreic4qfeydffa4nztxreulfwcgtppmghtf7e6yr66tejirlbttkoika\",\"rev\":\"3mu23ns2iau2j\"},\"validationStatus\":\"valid\"}"}],"autoblue_post_url":"","autoblue_publish_document":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-71542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":7}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
