Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust announced that the Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack, the definitive version of Ryza’s summer adventures, will be available on Nov. 13, 2025. Fans will be able to relive the journey of the young alchemist and her friends with new playable characters, new story content, and more exclusive elements. The Deluxe Pack is currently in development and will be available digitally on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows PC via Steam®.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack will reintroduce fans to the summer adventures of fan-favorite alchemist Reisalin Stout and her friends in a collection featuring all three titles from the “Secret” series, which sold over 2.5 million units worldwide. The Deluxe Pack will include new content for each title, such as new playable characters, each with new character stills designed by artist Toridamono, and new story episodes written by Yashichiro Takahashi, scenario writer of the “Secret” series.

Ryza’s adventures began in 2019 with the release of Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, the 21st entry in the Atelier franchise. The game introduced players to a colorful cast of characters who embarked on an adventure to uncover the secrets of their island. The DX version of the title will introduce new playable characters including Agatha, Kilo and Romy. Players will also be able to discover events happening in parallel with the main storyline, such as the encounter of Kilo and Bos in the Underworld, and other events that took place between Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX and Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX.

Released in 2021, the second title in the “Secret” series takes place three years after the events of the first title. The game follows Ryza and her friends as they are confronted with a major decision and new secrets to uncover while searching for gates to the Underworld. In Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX, players will be able to play as Empel and Lila, while discovering a new episode in which the two companions meet Ryza at the capital to help her in her journey as she explores a new map.

Originally released in 2023, Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX completes the “Secret” series and takes players one year after the events depicted in Atelier Ryza 2. Players will follow Ryza and her friends on their final summer adventure as they attempt to save their island and discover the secret of the “Code of the Universe”. In addition to reuniting with beloved characters from previous episodes and meeting new companions, players will also be able to play as new characters from Atelier Ryza and Atelier Ryza 2, such as Clifford, Serri, and Kilo. The DX version will introduce a new side story following Clifford and Serri after their separation from Ryza. The two will team up and embark on a journey to help each other achieve their own goals. Fans will also discover a new event that delves deeper into the relationship between Kilo and Bos, as well as explore a new island and its mysterious ruins.

Lastly, all games will include quality-of-life improvements and new features to enrich players’ experience, such as the addition of a “Custom Combat” mode in which they will be able to choose the level and combination of monsters they want to face. In Atelier Ryza 2, Fi will follow and support Ryza as she explores ruins, helping her find clues, or restoring a small amount of the party members’ health in battles. Atelier Ryza 3 will introduce a new mount, the “Wind Beast”, which automatically gathers ingredients during exploration. Players can also now enjoy content that was previously provided as free and paid items in the original three games, such as swimsuit costumes, maps, recipes, and more. Additionally, those who previously experienced the “Secret” series will receive exclusive items to help them start their adventures as save data bonuses.

Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is currently in development and is scheduled for release in 2025 on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows PC via Steam. Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX and Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX will include Japanese voices with English texts only.

The Eternal Life of Goldman

Critical Role Announces Campaign 4 with Brennan Lee Mulligan as Game Master

2025/08/02

Book News, Geek News, News, Trailers / Videos

Critical Role, a leader in storytelling and world building, has officially announced Campaign 4, the highly anticipated next chapter in its flagship series. Premiering Thursday, October 2, the new campaign will introduce a brand new world, and, for the first time in Critical Role’s core campaign, a brand new Game Master: celebrated actual play creator and storyteller Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Mulligan will step into the Game Master seat for the full duration of Campaign 4, bringing his signature depth, humor, wit, and high-stakes drama to Critical Role’s next grand adventure. Known for his work as a creative powerhouse and masterful world builder on his long-standing Dropout actual play series Dimension 20 as well as his beloved podcast Worlds Beyond Number, Mulligan has become one of the most respected narrative talents in the space. In addition to his pioneering work in tabletop, Mulligan is a frequent improviser, collaborator and producer on other fan-favorite Dropout properties like Game Changer, Make Some Noise and Very Important People.

“We’ve been enormous fans of Brennan’s for many years now, and when it came to giving both Matthew Mercer and the world of Exandria a bit of a breather, Brennan felt like the perfect storyteller to take our community somewhere entirely new.” said Travis Willingham, CEO, co-founder, and cast member of Critical Role. “Critical Role has always been about genuine connection through storytelling first and foremost, and as Brennan himself will tell you, he’s still played more TTRPGs away from a camera than in front of it. His passion and drive for worldbuilding is infectious, and it’s been an absolute joy to spark off him as we forge ahead.”

Following the beloved sagas of Vox Machina (Campaign 1), The Mighty Nein (Campaign 2), and Bells Hells (Campaign 3), Critical Role’s new campaign represents a bold evolution for the franchise, ushering in a new era with new legends to be forged in a brand new world.

“What a gift, a privilege and an honor to be invited behind the screen of Critical Role for this next epic adventure,” said Mulligan. “Every collaboration we have had together has brought nothing but sheer joy, and Campaign 4 will be no exception. I’m finally playing *almost* as much tabletop as I’d like to!”

“We’re not just turning a page – we’re starting a whole new book,” added Marisha Ray, Creative Director, co-founder, and cast member of Critical Role. “Everything about Campaign 4 is fresh; new world, new tone, new possibilities. We can’t wait for the fans to experience what we’ve been building.”

Campaign 4 will premiere with instant access on Beacon.tv as well as streamed to Critical Role’s YouTube and Twitch channels on October 2, with the VOD available for everyone the following Monday and podcast episodes available in two parts: the first one week after the premiere, and the second on the following Tuesday. Beacon members will also get exclusive access to all episodes of Critical Role Cooldown for Campaign 4, where the cameras keep rolling and you get a front row seat to the cast’s post-show reactions. Further details – including cast, the world, game system, format, and more – will be revealed in the months to come. Go to Critical Role’s website or follow along on Instagram at @Critical_Role, TikTok at @CriticalRole, and Critical Role’s newsletter to stay up-to-date.

Sometimes, the threads spun by the Moirai are tangled beyond mortal comprehension. Fate rarely reveals its design in full – and when it comes to Titan Quest II, we’ve kept you wandering in the shadows for long enough. Today, the veil is lifted: Developer Grimlore Games and Publisher THQ Nordic are proud to proclaim that Titan Quest II will descend into Early Access on August 1st, 2025 – on Steam and the Epic Games Store!

So carve the date into your stone tablets, because your odyssey begins… checks sundial …by the gods of Olympus, it begins now! So why still linger in the realm of words?! Watch the Titan Quest II Early Access Launch Trailer and seize your copy on Steam or Epic before the fates change their minds!

Titan Quest II has now stepped onto the mortal plane, available for PC in Early Access. The full 1.0 release is fated to arrive at $49.99 / €49.99. But those who embark early on this quest will pay only $29.99 / €29.99 – and for the first seven days, a divine 20% discount will reduce the price even further to $23.99 / €23.99.

By joining Early Access, you enter a world already brimming with content, challenge, and mystery – but far from complete. Titan Quest II will evolve over time, shaped by your feedback and forged in the fires of community. Our aim? To emerge from the labyrinth of Early Access by the end of 2026. But as every hero knows, no path reveals its full length until it is walked.

Early Access is merely the beginning.
What fate have the Moirai spun for the future of Titan Quest II? Their tapestry is ever-shifting, threads twisting and turning with the choices of gods and mortals alike. We dare not claim to know all that lies ahead, but glimpses have been granted.

In the distance, whispers speak of a character creator, where heroes may shape their form as boldly or as subtly as Hephaestus shapes bronze. Ancient forges stir with the promise of crafting and transmogrification, arcane arts that let you wield your chosen armaments while appearing as heroic as a demigod. New masteries await, shrouded in mystery, offering paths of power not yet walked. Realms unseen and foes unknown gather beyond the mists, waiting for champions worthy of their wrath.

These are but fragments of the prophecy. The scrolls speak of much more -but their secrets will only be unveiled when the stars deem the time right.
