Gust is in a release-heavy stretch: Atelier Karia, the direct follow-up to Atelier Yumia, is dated February 25, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with preorder bundles and a returning cast already named. Meanwhile the Atelier Resleriana smartphone game ends service in Japan on November 25.
Gust's current slate is split between a dated console release and a shutdown. Atelier Karia is the next mainline entry: it launches February 25, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and preorders opened at Ebten in Famitsu DX Pack tiers priced from 16,830 yen to 26,180 yen. The top tier adds a 3D crystal of the protagonist, a B2 cloth wall scroll, a round plate, acrylic stands, and a clear card set.
The game is an Atelier Yumia continuation rather than a standalone. Rutger and Leinya, both from Atelier Yumia, return as senior Pioneering Team members and fight alongside the protagonist. A Tokyo Game Show 2026 demo running about 15 minutes opens with the protagonist leaving her atelier with companions, with Yumia in the same scene. The protagonist eats materials while gathering and during battle, gaining effects and changing her appearance and costume based on what she eats; alchemy uses a map-based puzzle where materials attach as nodes and same-attribute nodes connect into larger diagrams.
Older Gust service titles have wound down. Atelier Resleriana: Forgotten Alchemy and the Polar Night Liberator ends service in Japan on November 25 at 4:00 p.m. JST. The game launched in Japan in September 2023 and globally in January 2024; the English version already ended service in March 2025. Paid items, including paid Star Stones, stopped from the announcement day.
On the console side, the BLUE REFLECTION Quartet: Girls' Miracle collection launched July 30, 2026 for PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch, drawing Metacritic scores of 77 for PS5 and Switch 2 and 71 for PC.

Koei Tecmo's Gust brand used the September 20 "Atelier Karia Special Stage" stream to introduce two returning characters: Rutger Ahrend, voiced by Jun Fukuyama, and Leinya, voiced by Yoshino Aoyama, both from Atelier Yumia. The stream also showed the package visual with the full party. Atelier Karia launches February 25, 2027.
Koei Tecmo Games and Gust showed a trailer for Atelier Kalia: The Night Kingdom and the Signpost of Reminiscence during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast on September 17, and the trailer confirmed that Rutger Arendt and Reina, both from Atelier Yumia, fight alongside protagonist Kalia. The game is scheduled for release on February 25, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 runs about 15 minutes and opens with Kalia leaving her atelier with companions, with Yumia appearing in the same scene, which suggests the story continues directly from the previous game. Kalia is a glutton who can eat materials while gathering and during battle, gaining effects and changing her appearance and costume based on what she eats. Alchemy uses a map-based puzzle in which materials attach as nodes and same-attribute nodes connect into larger diagrams that raise an item's effects.
