Koei Tecmo Games announced on July 24 a second ASMR installment for the Atelier Ryza series, titled "Atelier Ryza: Claudia ASMR ~Time of Peace and Journey to Tomorrow~." The audio work will be distributed on DLsite in mid-August at an undecided price. It is an all-ages production recorded binaurally, depicting peaceful moments between Claudia and Ryza during a picnic at Cape Homesick and in a secret hideout. Voice actress Hitomi Ohwada, who plays Claudia, is listed. The first ASMR work, "Atelier Ryza ASMR ~Healing Rest and Promise for Tomorrow~," was released in November 2025 and featured scenarios from Claudia's perspective. The new work appears to shift perspective, presenting the scenes through Claudia's voice. At Comic Market 108, held August 15 and 16 at Tokyo Big Sight, a linked special booth will offer cosplayer performances, audio and video experiences, and limited goods including collaborative earphones, acrylic stands, and B2 tapestries. A campaign will give a limited voice ASMR card of Claudia and Ryza to customers who spend 3,000 yen or more at target booths.
The new ASMR work follows the November 2025 release of "Atelier Ryza ASMR ~Healing Rest and Promise for Tomorrow~," which won the Newcomer Award at the DLsite Award 2025. That first work depicted time spent with Claudia through Ryza's voice from Claudia's perspective. The new installment appears to reverse the viewpoint, presenting the scenes through Claudia's voice, potentially from Ryza's perspective. The original Atelier Ryza, an alchemy RPG released in 2019, follows protagonist Ryza on Kurken Island as she discovers alchemy and faces a threat to her home. The series, known as the "Secret" series, spans three games with Ryza as protagonist. At Comic Market 108, the special booth will feature exhibits and photo spots recreating the ASMR world, with some goods offered as early sales. The first ASMR work included scenarios such as alchemy, forest exploration, bathing, ear cleaning, and sleeping together.
