Kalia first appeared as the protagonist of a new mainline Atelier title announced during the June 9, 2026 Nintendo Direct. Atelier Kalia: The Night Kingdom and the Signpost of Memories follows a protagonist who has lost her memory and retraces her past, and the announcement trailer showed alchemy and battle sequences. The footage also carried the name of Yumia, the protagonist of Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Imaginary Land, which pointed to a possible connection between the two games. At that point the release was set for early 2027 with no pricing announced.

By September 10, 2026, retailer listings had sharpened the release picture. Famitsu DX Pack bundles for the game, listed under the title Calia no Atelier: Yoru no Oukoku to Tsuioku no Michishirube, opened at Ebten priced from 16,830 yen to 26,180 yen, all dated February 25, 2027, across PS5, Switch 2, and Steam. The top tier adds a 3D crystal of Calia, a B2 cloth wall scroll, a round plate, acrylic stands, and a clear card set.

A trailer during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast on September 17 confirmed the return of Rutger Arendt and Reina, both from Atelier Yumia, fighting alongside Kalia. The game is scheduled for February 25, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A Tokyo Game Show 2026 demo runs about 15 minutes and opens with Kalia leaving her atelier with companions, with Yumia appearing in the same scene. 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.
